The QB Draft! USC's Caleb Williams and then who? | Pac-12 asks us to focus on football | ACC Preview
Andy & Ari On3 - A podcast by On3
Andy and Jesse Simonton review George Kliavkoff’s explanation at Pac-12 media day that the league wasn’t announcing a media rights deal so that the focus would remain on football. That, of course, led to a logical question about whether the media rights deal was done. (Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.) We then honor Kliavkoff’s request to talk about football by examining USC coach Lincoln Riley’s assertion that he and the Trojans have a responsibility to the west coast to be nationally relevant. He’s not wrong, but that assertion should seriously tick off Oregon, Washington and the others staying in the Pac-12. (0:00-23:57) Next up is the main event, the 2023 Quarterback Draft. Andy and Jesse each get 10 picks from a group that is loaded on the west coast and full of question marks at some of the bigger programs in the east. Who will pick the better group? (23:58-1:01:42) Later, Joe Ovies (Ovies + Giglio) joins Andy to preview ACC Kickoff. Joe had a fascinating interview with North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham last week that laid out how difficult it would be to challenge the ACC’s Grant of Rights. Joe explains where the seven schools that have complained about the league’s revenue sharing really stand. He also talks about Clemson’s chances of re-establishing its dominance, Florida State’s rise and the potential of North Carolina with Drake Maye back at QB. (1:01:43-1:22:50) Andy’s Extra Point is a call for questions for Monday night’s Dear Andy show. It’ll be another live show, and we want everyone — those watching live and those watching/listening on demand — to have a chance to get their questions answered. (1:22:51-1:25:38)
