About Alec Levine

From Columbus.
Shaped by Ohio State.

I’m from Columbus and attended Ohio State from 2021 to 2025. I built this project from a lifelong fan’s belief that college football can modernize without losing what makes it feel like home.

Why I built it

A fan’s case for a better system.

College football has always been tied to place for me: Columbus, campus, rivalry week, and the people beside me in the stands.

I watched the sport move from the BCS to four teams and then twelve, traveled to major stadiums and playoff games, and saw Ohio State win the national championship during my senior year. Those experiences made the traditions worth protecting—and the conflicting incentives harder to ignore.

This is an independent attempt to organize those problems into one testable system. I am not claiming inside authority. I am publishing the rules, assumptions, and open questions so readers with different experience can challenge them directly.

That is why the site connects postseason access, rankings, bowls, roster timing, athlete protections, and governance in one public plan. The bracket tools, weekly NRR archive, calendar, and evidence record let readers move beyond the headline and test how each choice behaves.
