ESPN’s Paul Finebaum offered his opinion on the recent rumors regarding Kirk Herbstreit’s involvement in Dylan Raiola’s flip from Georgia to Nebraska.
Finebaum still wanted more information on the situation but stressed that the situation is not a good look for Herbstreit. He also expressed some concern that Herbstreit has not denied the rumors.
“Listen, I used to defend Herbstreit without even thinking, but I’m not gonna do that until I know information,” Finebaum said. “Being objective, this is a really bad look for Herbstreit. He ought to (put out a statement)… First of all, if it’s not true – and I remember Eli Drinkwitz said something about Herbstreit on our show a couple of years ago, and Herbstreit texted me within five seconds. This story’s been out for two or three hours and I have yet to hear anything. He’s not shy. He’s pretty flippant on Twitter.
“Again, I just heard about that right before the show started,” Finebaum said. “I certainly think we need to find out what exactly happened. But if Herbstreit didn’t do that, then he’s welcome to call in and deny it. But right now, you have to believe he did it based on the fact it’s been a couple of hours and we haven’t heard any denial. I know that’s not exactly logic, but it’s the way it usually works.”
