While the world of college football never seems to disappoint, the latest news is a bit weird to accept: NFL players are now being granted a 5th year of college football eligibility. Watch here as George Wrighster III joins Andy & Ari to break down this bizarre scenario where some NFL rookies who are going through summer camp now have the opportunity to come back and play college football. What are we to make of this? Andy & Ari dive deep.

Next up, Andy & Ari receive some breaking news mid-record: Oklahoma Head Coach Brent Venables receives a 6-year extension. Worth $10.5M per year, was this contract extension warranted for the Sooners head coach? The guys discuss.

While some schools across the country have named their starting quarterback for the upcoming season, other programs still have some time before they name a starter. With North Carolina and Stanford announcing their starting QB before their Week 0 games, Andy & Ari predict three of the biggest battles across the country in Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee. Who do the guys think will end up as the starter at each of these programs?

As fall camp continues across the country, sometimes news isn’t all that positive. If it’s not the latest on a quarterback competition, then it’s typically some brutal injuries in the newsroom. Over in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, the Longhorns were able to breathe a sigh of relief as it was revealed that star OT Trevor Goosby only had a bone bruise in his left knee.
