When you think of the voices of College Football, none may be more well known than Paul Finebaum. ESPN launched the SEC Network in 2014 and it took a wildly popular radio show main stream, highlighting some of the craziness that makes the SEC more entertaining. Whether you love him or hate him, The Paul Finebaum Show has massive pull over the College Football world especially in the SEC

It seems that there are few jobs better than getting paid to cover College Football each weekend which raised the question of what may draw Paul Finebaum away from the sport? It turns out, Paul Finebaum has political aspirations as he revealed last week he has interest in running for Senate in Alabama.

The thought of Paul Finebaum running for government shocked everyone, including possibly his employers at ESPN and Disney.

Paul Finebaum may be out at ESPN amid conflicting reports

After a massive weekend in College Football, fans hoping to hear Paul Finebaum's thoughts may not be able to hear them. On Monday, Clay Travis of OutKick reported that ESPN has removed Finebaum from appearing on air since expressing his interest in running for Senate.

On3's Pete Nakos confirmed the report further driving everyone to believe that Paul Finebaum could be out at ESPN.

While everyone outside of ESPN seems to believe that Finebaum may not return to the air, internally a different message is being shared. Bill Hofheimer the VP of ESPN PR quickly jumped on Twitter/X to deny the reports calling them "totally false".

Fox WBRC reached out to a source who confirmed the report thickening the plot of an interesting story.

No one will truly know the fate of The Paul Finebaum Show until either Finebaum himself speaks, ESPN and Disney releases a statement, or until his show goes on the air unless ESPN decides to pull it and run other programming.
