0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three. It's Wednesday night. That means it's a dear Andy episode. Your questions are the stars. And you guys have some incredible questions. We are going to get to those. But first, we've got to talk about a bunch of news. A lot of news hit on Wednesday afternoon. And a couple things that are kind of sad.
0:24.2	We'll start with James Madison. We know that the Dukes had requested a waiver. They're in their
0:31.6	second season in the FBS. They're not supposed to be eligible for postseason play.
0:35.0	But they'd requested a waiver because clearly they are good enough to be in the postseason.
0:40.2	Clearly, they have done everything they needed to do to be a good, upstanding member of the FBS.
0:45.5	They are 10 and 0.
0:46.8	They're the best team in the Sunbelt.
0:49.3	But the NCAA, which never met an easy decision, it couldn't muck up.

1:15.8	going to get to play for the Sunbelt title, something they've earned. And they're not going to
1:21.4	have a chance to be the highest ranked group of five champ, which would put them in a New Year's
1:26.4	six bowl, which they probably would be if they were eligible to be the highest ranked group of five champ, which would put them in a New Year's six bowl, which they probably would be if they were eligible to be that.
1:31.9	It's ridiculous.
1:33.4	Absolutely ridiculous.
1:35.1	So Jacksonville State had also applied for the same kind of waiver.
1:38.9	They were in their first year of FBS play, and Rich Rodriguez, this team is seven and three.
1:43.5	They were denied as well.
1:45.2	There's a, you know, they could still get in with, with not enough bowl eligible teams.
