We’ll get to your primer on the college basketball season, but first a little football news. The commissioners who run the College Football Playoff have agreed on a revenue split and a TV deal for the CFP beyond 2026, but they haven’t settled on a format. The 14-team model commissioners had proposed is not a sure thing because ESPN doesn’t want to pay more for additional games. Now it’s time to talk about a postseason tournament that knows what it is. On3’s resident bracketologist James Fletcher III joins to help make you sound like an expert this weekend as you drink green beer and watch the NCAA Tournament bracket reveal. We’ll take you through the 2023-24 basketball season from the start to this weekend. We’ll remind you of the established stars (Purdue’s Zach Edey, North Carolina’s Armando Bacot) and introduce you to the new stars (Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht, Indiana State’s Robbie Avila). James will break down the teams on the bubble and explain who has a chance to make the field with another conference tournament win or two. We’ll also be on the lookout for any bid thieves. James also will take you through the top of the seed lines and fill you in on the teams that could wind up in the Final Four if they get hot next week. Want to watch the show instead?

0:00.0	Welcome to Andy Staples on three. Happy Friday before selection Sunday. Happy Friday before
0:06.6	St. Patrick's Day. Green beer and brackets are coming our way. And we're going to help get you ready for the bracket reveal on Sunday.
0:17.0	We'll also be back on Monday to help break down the bracket, but we'll have James Fletcher
0:21.5	the 3, on 3's resident bracketologists will join us today. We're going to help get you ready
0:26.4	for the NCAA basketball tournament. You will sound like an expert at the end of this show,
0:32.3	because James is an expert, not because I am, because James is, and we are going to help you get set. We'll start with
0:40.0	how the season started. We'll kind of take you through the season, and we'll get to right now where
0:44.7	there are bids to be stolen in the conference tournaments. There are bubble spots that are popping
0:53.0	as we speak. It's going to be a fun weekend first though
0:57.8	let's talk about a different kind of bracket the college football playoff we got an update
1:05.9	because the commissioners who oversee the college football playoff have agreed on a framework of a
1:13.2	contract with the SPN that will last through 2032. Now, what does that mean? It means all that stuff

1:32.9	And I think that's the big part.
1:36.0	Everything else kind of works itself out afterward.
1:38.8	We think.
1:39.6	Obviously, they'll fight over this stuff.
1:41.2	But here's how it works.
