Keep the traditions.
Fix the incentives.

A 17-chapter operating model for the competition, the player market beneath it, and the national government responsible for both.

The Game

An 18-team CFP, conference-title protection, transparent rankings, comparable schedules, rebuilt bowls, a National Tournament, and one protected calendar.

Athlete rights

National protections for representation, compensation, health, education, privacy, fair process, professional exploration, and movement when contractually free.

Real agreements

Voluntary one-to-four-year player-school contracts with written guarantees, duties, exits, buyouts, school-breach remedies, and coaching-change rules.

Open markets, clear conduct

No central price for talent. Regulate disclosure, fraud, taxes, agents, tampering, gambling, conflicts, and knowing violations instead.

Legitimate government

A stronger NCAA competitive regulator with defined limits, a dedicated integrity function, actor-specific responsibility, independent adjudication, and appeals.

Controlled adoption

Four implementation phases and seven launch gates covering legal authority, athlete representation, welfare, finance, competition, operations, and public accountability.

The immediate ask

Authorize athlete-represented design, negotiation, legal review, piloting, and independent validation—not automatic adoption. Every source of authority and every failed gate remains public.
