Welcome to Andy and Ari on three presented by Wendy's Happy Friday.

It is a dear Andy, dear Ari mailbag day, and we got questions that run the game.

We've got a really good basketball question today, Ari.

I can't wait to dive into that one, man.

You know, I'm your source for college basketball.

You don't need to know anything about college basketball for this one.

You just need to know about people getting mad at coaches, which something we all understand in the football.

I can handle that one.

Yeah, but we'll start out with a little bit of, it's not really realignment news because it probably will keep

realignment from happening for a little bit longer. Hopefully, maybe. We'll see. ESPN has picked up

the ACC's meteorites option through 2036. This is something already. Remember when Florida

State sued the ACC and Clemson sued the ACC? It was like, ooh, is the ACC even going to get its option picked up by ESPN?

And ESPN is like, yes, we will pick up the option.

According to the story by Andrew Adelson and David Hill of ESPN, one of the things they're

going to do to try to get some more money toward the Florida states and the Clemsons and the North Carolinas of the world is these value add events where they're supposed to create better matchups, create better games that will maybe make ESPN give them a little more money.

And as far as I can tell, this just means having Notre Dame play Clemson and Flores State

pretty much every year.

Yeah.

Or you can create matchups and then just if you're really good, you just have a harder schedule

to the playoff from now on too.

That's another option.

Well, you're right.
