Paul Finebaum joined “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” on Thursday and shared thoughts on potential landing spots for a few of the ACC’s biggest names.

Finebaum on Clemson:

“Clemson, to me, quite frankly, doesn’t bring that much,” Finebaum said. “I know it brings a national championship program from a couple of years ago. Clemson won twice, but from a geographical standpoint, I don’t think they add anything. I think South Carolina already covers the area in that part of the world very well.”

Finebaum on Florida State:

“I think Florida State is similar. I don’t think they’re nearly as attractive as they think they are…besides, Florida already covers that part of the world and so I think Miami, to me, would be next. I think it’s an important part of the country. It’s a very populated part of the country too.”

Finebaum on ACC Contracts:

“It’s so difficult to get out of these agreements, as you know,” Finebaum remarked. “I think if everyone had a free get out of jail card, we would see activity that would resemble the skies over Atlanta right now, but we don’t. I firmly believe at least 40 percent of the ACC would leave tomorrow, maybe more. I think these contracts like the ACC, like others, just do not allow anyone to get out without paying a fortune.”
