Elko explains the differences in taking over a program with no prior experience there and one where he’s familiar. He also explains why one of the most accomplished strength coaches in the sport called him looking for a job. Before Elko visits, we need to talk court/field storming. We’ve talked about it multiple times on the show, and the inevitable happened Saturday when Duke’s Kyle Filipowski was injured when Wake Forest fans stormed the court after beating Duke. Andy explains why this probably won’t stop court/field storming, but it might convince athletic departments to have a better security plan to ensure players get off the floor/field. Andy also breaks down the massive loss for the NCAA in federal court on Friday. A judge in Tennessee issued a preliminary injunction that essentially pauses the NCAA’s ability to enforce its name, image and likeness rules. Will this finally convince schools to start moving toward the more sensible method of schools paying players directly? Tyler Horka of On3’s Blue and Gold joins to explain what the potential changes to the College Football Playoff could mean for Notre Dame. Tyler also helps us dive into Notre Dame’s schedule to determine whether the Irish can go over the 9.5 win total set for them earlier this month. Want to watch the show instead?

0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three. Big show for you today. We got Texas A&M coach Mike Elko talking about retooling that roster, talking about what it's like when you take over a team that you are very familiar with as opposed to one like Duke that he was not familiar with.
0:19.5	Really interesting conversation with one of the smartest coaches in college football.
0:24.8	Very excited to see what he's going to do at Texas A&M.
0:26.9	So we're going to talk to him in about 15 minutes.
0:30.3	Also, Tyler Horka from Blue and Gold on 3's Notre Dame site will join us to talk about
0:35.1	what these potential changes to the college football
0:38.5	playoff, not the ones you already knew about that seemed to surprise people last week, but the
0:42.7	ones that they're still talking about that they've got to figure out over the next month,
0:47.8	what does that mean for Notre Dame? Because Notre Dame had pretty much the perfect setup
0:52.6	with this system that's going to be, I guess it's only going to exist for two years.
0:57.3	Because even though they couldn't be a top four seed, Notre Dame could always go 10 and two and make the playoff.
1:05.0	So they would never have to join a conference in football.
1:07.9	That's what they want.
1:09.3	They were happy to trade never being a one through
1:11.7	four seed for never having to join a conference. But now, if there's going to be all these auto bids,
1:19.6	well, that forces Notre Dame into a different position. So we'll talk to Tyler about that because I
1:24.4	imagine that Notre Dame, which has a seat at the table in these discussions,
1:30.3	is going to have a very strong opinion on how many auto bids there are. I think as long as
1:35.8	there's a significant number of at-larges, when I say significant, if you can get, as long as
1:42.2	there's like more than four at-larges, I think there's a shot for Notre Dame as long as they're good.
1:48.5	Because remember, the auto bids, let's say the SEC and the Big Ten each get three, then probably those spots are going to get taken up by teams that are as good.
2:03.1	And then Notre Dame will be among the best.
