This is really messed up. I wonder if he should recuse then consider whether to sue this dude for defamation once the dust has settled, ie post season. I don't see Mullens as a "public figure" and to disparage him on TV is outside the realm of ordinary commentary. It's not Mullens fault things "might" play out the way Duck fans are hoping, and now we see our school placed in a ridiculously impossible situation. First the quote, then the link to the article discussing the SEC Network program. The world we live in.
“I frankly don’t know if I trust this guy being in charge," Finebaum said during his show, which is simulcast on the SEC Network. "I don’t trust him because he’s not honest, and I just think he has an influence on that committee. Maybe I should save my powder if Oregon gets in, but then it’s going to be too late.”
