Next, Andy and Dukes try to solve one of college football’s biggest crises: The nicknames stink these days. So they’re going to fix it by handing out nicknames to some of the sport’s best players.

Andy also has questions about Doug Gottlieb’s decision to keep his radio show while coaching the Wisconsin-Green Bay basketball team. He and Dukes also try to decide which college football coaches could host a show while still coaching.

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.

What does Michigan need to replace to contend for another title?

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?

What did Purdue do to anger Big Ten schedule makers?

What did Rutgers do to please Big Ten schedule makers?

Can USC learn to play defense in time to be competitive in its first season in the Big Ten?

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?
