Beyond the playbook
Keep the calls simple. Keep the implementation work visible.
Six competitive reforms explain what changes on the field. Three supporting workstreams handle NFL coordination, athlete rights and economics, governance, finance, and independent validation.
Open the implementation mapCompanion room · rankings
The rankings call has a working model.
Open National Résumé Rating v0.48 to inspect every component, opponent résumé, game line, conference-championship treatment, and weekly result. No preseason input or manual team adjustment changes the order.
Companion room · calendar
Protect the championship. Clarify the transition.
A shared college–NFL calendar protects Saturday-night primetime, reduces avoidable playoff overlap, and gives athletes one clear line between draft exploration and final professional commitment.
