Donor Involvement and Myths Debunked

As the College Football Playoff field has been announced, the glaring omission from the field was the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. With Notre Dame on the outside of the CFP looking in, the Irish declined an invitation to play in the Pop-Tarts Bowl and will not play in a postseason bowl game. Watch here as Andy & Ari break down this interesting news and whether or not the Irish should have opted out. Do you agree?

Later, Andy wraps up some transfer portal news over the weekend and an interesting staff change at Tennessee. While Josh Heupel and the Vols look for a new DC, is this position attractive with Tennessee's fast paced offense?

Afterwards, Florida AD Scott Stricklin joins the show to recap the process of hiring Billy Napier's replacement and all the factors that went into the decision.
