Hour 2--J&J Show Thursday 4/4/24--"Rundown"-Grizz, NFL QBs Look from Rittenberger, & Mike Aresco leaving AAC + UCONN travel issues to Final 4 & NBA Mock Draft 2024 look

Texas and Oklahoma are poised to make a move from the Big 12 to the SEC by 2025, potentially participating in a 14-team conference, a departure from the previous 10-team format. Recent reports indicate that Cincinnati, Central Florida, and Houston have reached an agreement on exit fees with the American Athletic Conference (AAC) and are set to begin competing in the Big 12 from 2023 onwards. The specific financial details of their transition to the Power 5 conference have not been disclosed at this time. AAC commissioner Mike Aresco issued a statement confirming the move, expressing gratitude for the success and contributions of the three institutions to the AAC. The addition of these three programs will restore the conference to a 12-team format for the first time since 2010 when Nebraska left for the Big Ten, followed by Texas A&M, Missouri, and Colorado departing a season later for the SEC and Pac-12, respectively. West Virginia and TCU were promptly added as replacements in 2012. In addition to Cincinnati, Central Florida, and Houston, BYU is also slated to join the Big 12 in 2023, transitioning from its current independent status. The three AAC programs and BYU collectively boast impressive records, with Cincinnati notably making history as the first non-Power 5 program to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff last season. Following the departure of three of its most lucrative programs, the AAC is anticipated to compensate by adding six schools from Conference USA—Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA are expected to finalize their move by July 1, 2023. Simultaneously, Liberty, New Mexico State, Sam Houston, and Jacksonville State are set to join Conference USA as replacements in 2023. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Greg and Eli talk with Harold Graeter during the AutoZone Liberty Bowl hour about Mike Aresco is retiring, Memphis and Iowa State being selected for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl game, High School football All-Star Game and more.

Mike Aresco, commissioner of The American, spoke to Javon to discuss the effects of realignment on his conference and college sports as a whole, why he wants to keep Congress as far away from the NCAA as possible and even Deion Sanders. Tune in for the full interview.

Matt Brown, Extra Points, on how college football has caused a snowball effect for other athletics and where those sports could be headed from those impacts. After talking to Mike Aresco, Commissioner of the AAC, and he brought up student welfare. Matt recently wrote about the students in athletics that AREN’T in football and how people forget about them in these conference realignment decisions. What was Matt’s takeaway? Do we need any Federal legislation over NIL?

Mike Aresco, American Athletic Conference Commissioner, on the state of college conferences. What happened with the Pac-12? What does Mike think the future is for college football, when we’re looking at the structure? Is that going to be a good thing? What’s the nature of college sports now compared to where they were 10, 20, etc years ago? Can Mike see a day in the future where football separates itself from the other sports? How does Mike view the amount of greed going on now?

Greg and Eli talk with former Tigers QB Danny Wimprine about the excitement about 2003 Tigers football team being honored, his life after football, progress from the football program and more. Also, they talk about the AL NL Wildcard chase, Mike Aresco's comments on the CFP and more.

It's always a blast when John Canzano is back on and he doesn't disappoint, from his early prediction on good the Oregon State Beavers football team will be, and his takeaways from his interview w/ Mike Aresco commissioner of the American Athletic Conference, and much more.

We start Rapid Fire with thoughts on former Notre Dame linebacker Prince Kollie transferring to Vanderbilt to join former Irish defensive coordinator Clark Lea. Other topics include: * Which former Irish quarterback will regret transferring more: Tyler Buchner or Drew Pyne? * Thoughts on American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco calling for an end to the use of the term “Power 5”. * Thoughts on ESPN's Jay Williams saying it's time for people talking sports to stop using the "Mt. Rushmore" metaphor when talking about the greats. * The KC Chiefs will play Cincinnati on New Year's eve and Aaron Rodgers and the Jets face Miami in the first ever Black Friday game this season. Thoughts on those and we predict who the Cowboys and Lions will face on Thanksgiving when the NFL releases the rest of its 2023 schedule on Thursday.

Geoff opens the show with an emergency session of The People's Court. He rules on cases about Zach Kleiman's reputation, the NFL's arrogance, Mike Aresco's open letter, Robert DeNiro's 7th child, and Mookie Betts fear of ghosts. Also, John Martin joins the show to discuss if the Tigers have an NIL problem. 

The commissioner of the American Athletic Conference has written an open letter asking to ban the phrase “Group of 5” from the collegiate sports nomenclature. Connor and Josh try to name all the team sin said conference

Greg and Eli talk about Celtics and Suns on the brink of elimination, the passing of Denny Crum, Mike Aresco's comments and more.

AAC commissioner Mike Aresco is correct that Group of 5 does not serve a purpose, but that is not really what divides college sports, specifically football.

-Aresco put out a statement before the AAC Tourney tipped off, asking why the AAC and other Group of 5 conferences aren't as respected as much as ‘Power 5' schools -He mentions Houston is the top team in the country—from the AAC---and they had a recent College Football Playoff team---Cincinnati---and that they should be respected more -The problem? He also admitted that the gap from the 2nd to 3rd best conference in the country is the same gap as the 3rd best conference to the rest of them…we get his point, but that kind of says there's really a Power 2…right? -If there were two power-house conferences with a combined 32 teams, could we see a system like soccer where you need to win to stay in the "Power 2" and you would be demoted if you lose too much? -It seems that the media creates the uneven playing field that is separated into the Power 5 and Group of 5 conferences Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKINGAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
