(0:00-12:59) Intro - House v NCAA (13:00-15:09) Jaden Rashada Suing Billy Napier Recap (15:10-33:11) Pete Nakos Joins (33:12-45:26) Nick De La Torre Joins (45:27-58:37) Florida's Outlook in 2024 (58:38-1:00:40) Conclusion The ACC and Big 12 have voted to approve the House v. NCAA settlement. The NCAA's Board of Directors has as well. More approvals will come, which means schools could be sharing revenues directly with athletes within the next year. What seemed unthinkable 10 years ago is on the verge of happening. Meanwhile... QB Jaden Rashada has sued Florida coach Billy Napier and Florida mega-donor Hugh Hathcock alleging fraud because Rashada didn't receive any of the money he claims he was promised during his recruitment by Florida. Rashada, a four-star prospect in the class of 2023, flipped from Miami to Florida in November 2022. He signed with Florida even though his NIL deal already had been terminated by the collective that wrote it. He claims in the suit that Napier and Hathcock assured him he'd receive $1 million upon signing with the Gators. He did not. Rashada wound up playing last year at Arizona State and has since transferred to Georgia. On3's Pete Nakos joins to discuss the case. Later, Nick De La Torre of Gators Online joins to talk about what impact the lawsuit could have on Napier and the Gators. Nick also fills us in on where Florida stands following spring practice as the Gators face a brutal schedule in a make-or-break year. Want to watch the show instead?

Is Andy too high on Alabama? Why does Andy love Kansas State so much? Andy and Jesse compare Andy’s ranking with Jesse’s conference power rankings, and Andy wants to know why Jesse doesn’t believe in Auburn. Will either one be ultimately correct? Probably not! But it makes for a delightful debate in June. Subscribe to On3! ⬇️ youtube.com/on3sports/?sub_confirmati...

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell joins the show to talk about Year 2 with the Badgers. Wisconsin went 7-6 in Fickell’s first season, and he believes he’s identified the issues that fed into the Badgers’ late-season slide and plans to correct him. (0:00-7:49) Intro - Andy's Top 25 (7:50-11:12) Wisconsin in 2024 (11:13-32:15) Wisconsin Head Coach Luke Fickell joins (32:16-52:10) Pete Nakos joins us to break down the future of collegiate athletics (52:11-56:10) Transfer Portal News - General Booty (56:11-1:00:00) Coaching Rules (1:00:01-1:01:27) Conclusion Fickell explains how different his second spring in Madison has felt.

Next, On3’s Pate Nakos joins Andy to discuss some of the big issues that could be coming to a head in college sports in the next few weeks. A settlement has been proposed in House v.

Which coaches does Andy trust from an on-field schematic standpoint to win a game if both teams have equal talent? If the ACC loses Florida State, Clemson and North Carolina (or more), where would everyone else wind up? Now that Andy has chosen his dynasty mode team, which movie/TV college football program would he create for build-a-team mode? Want to watch the show instead?

As the ACC Spring Meetings continue in Amelia Island, Andy breaks down everything that is happening and the discussions being held.

Andy is on the scene at the ACC meetings in Amelia Island, Fla., and the scene is… weird. (0:00-3:05) Intro - Live from ACC Spring Meetings! (3:06-9:41) Kickoff Times Announced (9:42-23:12) North Carolina, Board of Trustees Update (23:13-48:40) Florida State Update with Ira Schoffel (48:41-53:44) NFL vs CFP Games on TV (53:45-1:02:33) NCAA president speaks on House Settlement (1:02:34-1:03:09) Conclusion Two ACC schools (Florida State and Clemson) are suing the conference, and the conference is suing those schools back. And everyone is meeting ahead of a potentially exciting 2024 football season because no one can do anything about the court cases right now. Meanwhile, the board of trustees at North Carolina made a very public statement that the Tar Heels need to consider membership in another conference. Unlike at Clemson and Florida State, where the president and athletic director were very much on board with the anti-ACC sentiment, the trustees spent part of their meeting Monday criticizing athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who was headed to the meeting in Florida when they met. Cunningham, at least publicly, has been supportive of the ACC. Also, NCAA president Charlie Baker met with ACC ADs and coaches Monday to brief them on some of the big changes heading their way. The NCAA is negotiating a settlement in a class action lawsuit (House v. NCAA) that likely will change the business model for college sports. And Baker is talking like a person who wants that multi-billion dollar settlement done so the schools can start preparing for the future. Later, Andy and Ira Schoffel of On3’s Warchant discuss Florida State’s position in the ACC right now as the Seminoles sue the league in Florida and the league sues the Seminoles in North Carolina. Plus, Andy and Ira discuss what Florida State will look like on the football field this year after losing some very important players to the NFL. Want to watch the show instead?

Can Oregon reach the Big Ten Championship Game in its first season in the league? Does a 12-team College Football Playoff make Penn State’s season feel different?

Andy and Phillip Dukes are talking Auburn on a glorious spring Friday. Hugh Freeze said this week that he decided to roll with the QBs the Tigers had — including incumbent starter Payton Thorne and incoming freshman Walker White — rather than spending big on a QB in the transfer portal. Was that the correct choice, and how much will Freeze’s decision to call plays again change the course of the offense? Also, how good is freshman receiver Cam Coleman? (0:00-0:59) Intro (1:00-2:09) Phillip Dukes Joins (2:10-21:32) Auburn's Outlook (21:33-26:42) Notable Offenses (26:43-38:59) Juju Lewis Visiting Indiana (39:00-47:28) Dukes shows off his shoe collection (47:29-1:01:57) Austin Rivers comments (1:01:58-1:03:51) Wrapping Up, Conclusion JuJu Lewis, a top class of 2025 quarterback recruit from Dukes' neck of the woods is committed to USC and being pursued by Auburn, but he has scheduled a visit to Indiana. How did that happen, and what does it say about how serious new Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti is about turning around that program? The guys also discuss which teams improved their rosters the most now that the spring transfer portal window has closed. Miami kept adding players, but will those additions help the Hurricanes win more come fall? Andy and Dukes also discuss former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comment that there were about 30 NBA players who could play in the NFL. Which is the more difficult sport? Also, which NBA stars would we have loved to see in college football? Want to watch the show instead? Head on over to YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/ZLv0Jn1EwXo Learn more about your ad choices.

(0:00-11:47) Intro - Brian Kelly on transfer market (11:48-12:14) SEC Preview (12:15-16:29) Cody Bellaire Intro - Doppelgängers (16:30-25:26) Alabama Crimson Tide Floor/Ceiling (25:27-35:00) Florida Gators Floor/Ceiling (35:01-41:18) LSU Tigers Floor/Ceiling (41:19-47:52) Auburn Tigers Floor/Ceiling (47:53-52:47) Ole Miss Rebels Floor/Ceiling (52:48-58:05) Oklahoma Sooners Floor/Ceiling (58:06-1:04:37) Texas Longhorns Floor/Ceiling (1:04:38-1:08:03) Georgia Bulldogs Floor/Ceiling (1:08:04-1:13:58) Tennessee Volunteers Floor/Ceiling (1:13:59-1:17:18) Missouri Tigers Floor/Ceiling (1:17:19-1:22:38) Kentucky Wildcats Floor/Ceiling (1:22:39-1:27:03) South Carolina Gamecocks Floor/Ceiling (1:27:04-1:31:00) Texas A&M Aggies Floor/Ceiling (1:31:01-1:33:54) Mississippi State Bulldogs Floor/Ceiling (1:33:55-1:36:12) Arkansas Razorbacks Floor/Ceiling (1:36:13-1:39:16) Vanderbilt Commodores Floor/Ceiling (1:39:17-1:40:52) Conclusion - Dear Andy tomorrow! andystapleson3@gmail.com But first we have to dive into Brian Kelly's comments on the transfer portal, particularly the defensive tackle position Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Ole Miss look like CFP contenders, but should others — looking at you LSU, Missouri and Tennessee — dream just as big? Just how dire are the situations at Arkansas and Florida? And which SEC quarterback does Cody think will shock the nation in 2024? The ULTIMATE SEC Preview for 2024 Want to watch the show instead?

The transfer portal is closed, and the last of the entrants are finding new teams. On3’s Pete Nakos joins to break down the action. (0:00-5:49) Intro (5:50-25:44) Pete Nakos Joins to Breakdown Transfer Portal (25:45-37:48) Future of College Football, Court News (37:49-41:19) LSU Intro (41:20-1:04:10) Billy Embody from the Bengal Tiger joins (1:04:11-1:06:10) Conclusion Amorion Walker is the latest Boomerang transfer. Walker played at Michigan last year, transferred to Ole Miss in January and now has decided to transfer back to Michigan. Meanwhile, Alabama DB transfer Peyton Woodyard committed to Oregon. San Jose State CB transfer Jay’Vion Cole, the top remaining DB in the portal, committed to Texas. The landing spot for Oklahoma QB transfer General Booty remains unknown. Andy and Pete also discuss Pete’s story on the possibility that athletes might collectively bargain with schools or conferences even if they aren’t employees. This is what the schools would prefer, but it may not be possible because of a variety of factors. Next, Billy Embody of On3's The Bengal Tiger joins to talk LSU. First, he and Andy put to rest any J.D. PicKell-created debate over the nickname for Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Billy explains what LSU does now after missing on several key defensive line targets in the spring transfer portal window. He also offers some insight as to how LSU will replace the production of first-round receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. Want to watch the show instead?

Andy and Dukes also tackle the closing of the transfer portal and discuss which teams got better.

The spring transfer portal window is closed, but there’s still drama. Oklahoma landed one of the most sought-after players in the spring window on Thursday when TCU transfer Damonic Williams committed. Williams started every game in his two seasons at TCU and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 player in 2023. Few defensive linemen with this resume had entered the portal this spring, and a lot of schools wanted Williams. It came down to Oklahoma and Texas. (0:00-9:09) Intro - Transfer Portal News (9:10-23:13) Pete Nakos Joins to Break down Transfer Portal (23:14-29:57) NCAA Antitrust Settlement Case, Future of CFB (29:58-32:56) Texas A&M Introduction (32:57-1:05:12) Billy Liucci from Tex Ags joins (1:05:13-1:06:47) Conclusion - Have a great weekend! On3’s Pete Nakos breaks down that decision as well as the ongoing recruitment of Michigan State transfer defensive lineman Simeon Barrow, who told Pete on Thursday that he might decide Friday from a group that includes LSU, Missouri and Miami. Plus, Oklahoma backup QB General Booty is the highest ranking player to ever enter the transfer portal. Next, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com joins the show to talk about a quiet spring in College Station as new coach Mike Elko works to shape a roster that probably isn’t as loaded as we’d think given Texas A&M’s recruiting rankings of the past few years. In fact, the situation Elko finds himself in now is eerily reminiscent of the one Steve Sarkisian took over at Texas in 2021. But with QB Conner Weigman working his way back toward 100 percent, transfer Nic Scourton coming off the edge and an SEC schedule that isn’t as tough as the one some other teams got, the Aggies might be a surprise come fall.

It’s a Dear Andy edition, and you have some great questions. Specifically, you have some very interesting questions about Deion Sanders. (0:00-7:37) Intro - Opt Outs, State of CFB (7:38-21:59) Introducing On3 - Her with Talia Goodman (22:00-24:09) Dear Andy Intro (24:10-45:31) Deion Sanders and Colorado (45:32-59:46) Coaches Hired to Win Championships (59:47-1:03:34) Group of 5 to Power 4 Transfers Idea (1:03:35-1:06:41) 4 New Conferences to Pick New Teams (1:06:42-1:09:49) Nick Saban's Retirement (1:09:50-1:14:03) G5 School to use in EA Sports? (1:14:04-1:16:14) Conclusion But first, we’re very excited to introduce you to Talia Goodman. Talia is On3’s newest hire, and she’ll be leading the HER vertical. While a student reporter at Indiana University, Talia realized there wasn’t a transfer portal news-breaker covering women’s basketball, so she worked to make herself one. Now she’s the best in the game, and she’s bringing her talents to On3. Andy and Talia discuss how the women’s college game can capitalize on the moment it’s having currently, and Talia identifies the stars who will try to fill the void now that Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and company are off to the WNBA. Now, it’s time for your questions. Once again, Coach Prime and his team dominate the conversation. Will Shedeur Sanders' tweet clapping back at a former Colorado player hurt his chances to win awards? Would it affect his draft stock? How much longer should we reasonably expect Deion to be at Colorado? Given the discussion of the way Sanders handled cutting players and the back-and-forth between former and current Colorado players, what should be considered acceptable when managing a roster? Andy often talks about college football jobs where the job description is simply “Win the national title.” How many of those jobs are there? Which schools? Who does Andy plan to play as in Dynasty Mode when the new EA college football game debuts? Want to watch the show instead?

Andystapleson3@gmail.com Andy and Cody each will declare their offensive and defensive schemes. Then they’ll draft the best possible teams to carry out those schemes on the field. Perhaps they’re looking for different quarterbacks, but everyone needs great offensive tackles, edge rushers, defensive backs and receivers. Who will get LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell? Who will get Ohio State’s Caleb Downs? Which general manager/coach will pick the best players for his chosen schemes? Feel free to heckle each pick in the chat. Want to watch the draft instead?

The hype train for Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola is leaving the station, and Andy climbs aboard with Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online. Raiola’s spring game performance got the Nebraska fanbase pumped for the future. So what happens next? How does coach Matt Rhule handle the quarterback situation going into preseason camp? And who will help Raiola on offense when fall arrives? (0:00-4:29) Intro (4:30-13:49) Leaders Discussing Settlement of Antitrust Case (13:50-35:14) Sean Callahan from Husker Online Joins (35:15-40:28) Spring Transfer Portal (40:29-1:03:53) Tyler Horka from Blue and Gold joins (1:03:54-1:06:50) Conclusion - Draft Ultimate Teams tomorrow Before that, Andy breaks down the news that the NCAA and major conferences have engaged in settlement talks in the House v. NCAA case. Why does this matter? Because any settlement likely involves the schools promising revenue sharing with the athletes going forward. That would change how the players are compensated, and it likely would lead to collective bargaining. Speaking of which, there was news on that front Monday out of Trent Dilfer’s UAB program. Also, a few more players jumped in the transfer portal ahead of its closing on Tuesday. Alabama freshman safety Peyton Woodyard entered on Monday night. Oregon is the favorite to land him. Nebraska edge rusher Chief Borders also has entered the portal. So has former Washington QB Sam Huard, who spent 2023 at Cal Poly. Offensive lineman Andrew Dennis, the highest ranked signee in Illinois’ 2024 class, also entered the portal. Next, Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to discuss Notre Dame coming out of spring practice. The Fighting Irish got a good look at their quarterback room with presumed starter Riley Leonard recovering from ankle surgery, and the depth — and lack of QBs jumping in the portal — should inspire confidence. So should the performance of the receivers in the spring game. Notre Dame didn’t have anywhere near its full group, but the way the available players performed suggests that the passing game should be much more dynamic than it was last season.

Oregon State RB transfer Damien Martinez has committed to Miami, and Colorado RB transfer Dylan Edwards has committed to Kansas State. Meanwhile, Colorado wrapped spring practice and continued to add more transfers. That includes RB Rashad Amos, a Miami (Ohio) transfer who originally had planned to go to Mississippi State. Next, Justin Hopkins of Scoop Duck joins to talk about Oregon. The Ducks wrapped spring practice Saturday, and Oklahoma transfer QB Dillon Gabriel looks like he’s been in Eugene forever. We also got a look at a few potential star freshmen on defense, and we got our first look at QB Dante Moore as a Duck. Plus, Andy breaks down the rest of the NFL draft....
