In this week's #DearAndy, Andy Staples answers your questions on…

• Will the ACC-Big Ten Challenge come to college football? The nonconference college basketball tournament has been an effective way to pit some of the nation's top teams against each other. It seems like a great idea for college football.

• What's the fastest way for a coach to get a head job at a championship-contending program? Is it quicker to go from a Group of Five job to a lower-tier Power 5 job to a contender? Or is it better to get to a contender as a coordinator and use that to get a head coaching job at a top-tier program?

• Will the NCAA impose off-season workout limits? This is an important topic to address in the wake of the story that multiple Oregon football players were hospitalized following grueling workouts. The Ducks' strength coach was suspended.
