Paul Finebaum Reveals He's 'Losing Patience' with Some SEC Coaches

Paul Finebaum Reveals He's 'Losing Patience' with Some SEC Coaches originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The SEC spring meetings have come and gone, and there is still no decision on whether the conference will adopt a nine-game conference schedule, similar to the Big Ten and Big 12. Currently, both the SEC and ACC have an eight-game conference slate. Advertisement However, after adding the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns, it seemed likely that the SEC would soon shift to a nine-game schedule. With so many teams in the league now, this change would ensure that certain rivalries continue. Additionally, because the OU-Texas game is held at a neutral site, it would guarantee the Sooners and Longhorns both receive four home and away conference games. Under the current eight-game format, depending on which team is the home team at the Cotton Bowl, that team would only get three true home games compared to four road games in conference play. The same is said for the neutral site game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators. Last season, the Bulldogs were the home team, so they only got three true home games in conference. On "The Paul Finebaum Show," the SEC Network analyst expressed his dissatisfaction with SEC coaches who have voiced their opposition to the move to a nine-game schedule. Advertisement Texas Longhorns defensive back Derek Williams Jr. (2) recovers a fumble against the Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Dieb-Imagn Images "I'm losing patience with some of the coaches in this league," Finebaum said. "I think the SEC is long overdue to go to nine. They're reluctant to for legitimate reasons. The commissioner said to us four weeks ago, he's in favor of nine. I think ultimately they will get there. But I am not convinced they will get there in time for the first year of this 2026 playoff." Finebaum previously stated that although he believes the conference will eventually adopt a nine-game schedule, it is no longer as certain as it once seemed. He expressed concern that significant rivalries, such as the Alabama Crimson Tide against the Tennessee Volunteers, might diminish if scheduling does not change. Finebaum suggested that some schools are resisting this change because they want to maximize their chances of making the College Football Playoff. There is worry that adding another conference game could negatively impact those chances. Advertisement However, he argues that if a school is strong enough, the potential expansion of the CFP to 16 teams — something that could happen soon, would make it difficult for competitive teams to miss out on postseason play. While it remains unclear when SEC schools will vote on the nine-game proposal, it is expected to occur later this year, with potential implementation as early as 2026. However, no official date has been announced.

Mavs' Kyrie Irving Speaks Out on 'Beautiful Struggle' Injury Return Timeline

Mavs' Kyrie Irving Speaks Out on 'Beautiful Struggle' Injury Return Timeline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving went down with torn ACL in March, which more or less ended the Mavs' hopes of contending at the end of a haunting season scarred by the mid-season trade of superstar Luka Doncic. Advertisement Irving's injury joined a handful of Mavericks players who were also banged up, including Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford among others. The Mavericks' would ultimately fall in their play-in tournament contest, placing them in the NBA Draft lottery, to which a 1.8-percent stroke of luck fell Dallas' way and allowed the team to draft college phenom Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick. Flagg's addition immediately brings Dallas back into the contention conversation in a loaded Western Conference, but only when Irving gets fully healthy. In an online stream, the superstar ball-handler answered a question about whether he would be back for the playoffs, but Mavs fans won't be too excited about his response. Advertisement "Don't hold your breath on that," Irving said. "It doesn't mean that I won't be back ... I don't want to make any predictions on when I'm going to be back. I just want to be 150,000 percent better. "So I'm taking my time to really get healthy ... and really just enjoy this recovery process, man. It's not pretty. Yes, it's a beautiful struggle, but I go through the mental rollercoaster ride every day, just want to be back out there." Initial reports said Irving could be healthy by the turn of the new calendar year, but a quote like this suggests that he and the Mavericks will be taking a cautious, patient approach to his rehab. At 33 years old, Irving's body will require a full-length effort to return to 100 percent. However, the Mavericks will benefit with a generational talent Flagg joining an otherwise healthy roster that can still win games with Kyrie on the sidelines. This boost in playmaking is a slight insurance barrier that shouldn't compromise Dallas' ability to score. Advertisement Knee injuries, at any age, typically take over a year before a return to peak explosiveness upon return. So for Irving and the Mavericks' sake, the 2026-27 season could shape up to be the campaign with the greatest title hopes, as long as no other injury worries set back that timeline. Dallas got active just as this offseason's free agency period opened by signing former All-Star point guard D'Angelo Russell, who is expected to conduct the offense while Irving is injured. The Mavs will obviously miss Kyrie's 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game totals from last season, but the organization knows that his complete recovery is most important in a championship pursuit ... whether that comes this upcoming season or pushes to the next.
