Paul Finebaum disagreed with Matt Rhule so strongly about the Big Ten getting four auto-bids to the expanded College Football Playoff that he got personal with his attacks on the Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach.
Finebaum sent a clear message to Rhule on ESPN's "Get Up" while speaking to Mike Greenberg: Finebaum hates everything about his career and doesn't want Rhule to make any similar declarative statements anymore, topping it all off by saying that Rhule should leave it to pundits like Paul.
“Man, stay in your lane! Job one: win enough games to get to some stupid bowl game," Finebaum said (h/t On3). "Don’t worry about the big boys, because you’re not one of them. We saw what you did in the NFL, you were a complete disaster in Carolina. You somehow got this job in Nebraska and you’re talking like you belong at the table with Ohio State and Georgia. You don’t! Just try to win maybe six games, quit choking big games on the final play and leave the punditry to the professionals. Thank you.”
Nebraska's standing in Big Ten on shaky ground due to no AAU accreditation
Maybe Rhule should dial down the B1G pride. Nebraska may not have a spot in the conference for much longer due to its loss of AAU accreditation.
"The B1G says AAU accreditation is not an absolute requirement only to avoid exclusionary lawsuits, but they've never invited a team that wasn't AAU at the time," longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim prefaced before saying, "Some believe they may even kick out the Huskers for losing their accreditation soon after joining...and they won't get it back."
If the Big Ten continues to eye FSU, which is officially staying with the ACC for the next two years, and has invites waiting for Notre Dame and Texas A&M, it could afford to lose a school to have an even number of schools.
The Huskers are a major brand, but their lack of AAU accreditation would make them the odd school out.
