Start with what sounds fun.

You do not need to read the project in order. Build a bracket first, skim the proposal, or check the evidence behind it.

Why this exists

Built for the people who plan fall Saturdays around each other.

The proposal begins with a simple test: does a rule make playing, watching, belonging, and coming back next week more meaningful?

The whole proposal in plain English

Four ideas hold it together.

These are the shortest useful answers. The playbook contains the complete rules, tradeoffs, boundaries, and open questions.

01

18-team CFP

Two résumé leaders begin in the quarterfinals. Eight teams—including five conference champions—enter the Round of 12. Four more host opening-round campus games; four enter on the road.

02

Ordinary order after protection

Conference champions receive access and at least one bye, not permanent seeding privilege. The field is reseeded by the published résumé order before the Round of 12 and again before the quarterfinals.

03

Freedom with real commitments

Athletes receive national rights and open earning power. Voluntary player-school agreements state duration, guarantees, duties, exits, buyouts, and school-breach remedies in writing.

04

A limited national government

National authority protects rights, fair competition, due process, and stable rules. It does not set player prices, erase institutional responsibility, or treat every violation as the same offense.

The honest boundary

A serious model.
Still an invitation.

The website can demonstrate rules, brackets, rankings, calendars, and implementation gates. Real adoption would still require athlete representation, legal and labor review, commercial inputs, operational testing, and accountable agreement by the institutions involved.
