How to describe the work

“An independent proposal by Alec Levine.” The project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ohio State, the NCAA, CFP, a conference, institution, athlete, NFL, NFLPA, or media-rights holder.

AI disclosure

Transparent assistance

AI assisted research, drafting, editing, modeling, document production, and website development. Alec selected the policy positions and accepts responsibility for the published judgments.

Questions worth asking.

Why does an 18-team field produce more meaningful ranking incentives?
How should conference championship participation be protected?
Can multi-year player agreements preserve both mobility and meaningful commitments?
Which athlete rights should be national and nonwaivable?
Where should draft exploration end and final professional commitment begin?
Why should the NCAA be stronger on competitive integrity but weaker on central market control?
How can an independent tribunal resolve season-changing cases quickly and fairly?
Which legal, labor, financial, and athlete-representation gates remain open?
