Finebaum Urges Real Change at Trump’s College Sports Roundtable

Paul Finebaum, host of SEC Network’s “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning,” said he hopes President Donald Trump’s March 6 White House roundtable will produce more than headlines. He warned that if meaningful action isn’t taken within weeks, the meeting could “blow up” and leave college athletics in an unsustainable state.

The gathering will bring together high‑profile figures such as Alabama coach Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Power‑Four commissioners, athletics directors, Tiger Woods and NBA commissioner Adam Silver. The discussion comes amid growing frustration over NIL rules, the transfer portal and the sport’s overall structure.
