Happy Friday! It's a Dear Andy & Ari episode, but first we have to break down the most pressing news of the day: the NCAA punishing Michigan for the sign stealing scandal. In what has been viewed a minimal punishment by most, Michigan essentially got away with paying a fine and adding one game to Sherrone Moore's suspension. Watch here as Andy & Ari dive deep into this scandal.

Dear Andy & Ari kicks off with an incredible question regarding coaches in the last 20 years: Urban Meyer or Kirby Smart? Andy & Ari dive deep into the weeds in comparing the two college football icons.

 

Next, we take a visit to Mark Stoops and the Bluegrass State to evaluate the identity of the Wildcats. With veteran QB Zach Calzada entering the fold in Lexington, what are honest expectations for the program, and how in the world do they turn it around? Andy & Ari dive deep into the Wildcats.

 

Later, a thoughtful fan notices a scenario that could happen in the American conference. Could this conference produce two CFP teams in Tulane and USF? It's possible.

 

To close, Producer River has had a wild week. On his morning walks, a mockingbird has attacked River two days in a row now. How will this war end between Producer River and the mockingbird? Find out here
