About This Project

This is not naive idealism. This is documented proof that solutions exist and will be ignored.

Why This Proposal Was Created

Purpose

College football is broken. Everyone knows it. Fans complain. Media writes think pieces. Athletic directors give platitudes. Commissioners promise "we're working on it."

But nothing changes. Why?

Because the powerful benefit from chaos.

  • Power conferences want controlled access, not merit-based systems
  • Collectives want unregulated NIL to manipulate players
  • Coaches want unrestricted movement without stability penalties
  • Schools want free poaching without compensating developing programs

This proposal exists to document what fair reform could look like—and to prove that stakeholders chose greed over fairness when the system inevitably collapses in 5-7 years.

This Is a Receipt, Not Advocacy

I'm not lobbying the NCAA to adopt this. I'm not emailing commissioners. I'm not testifying before Congress.

I'm creating a historical record: Fair alternatives existed. They were legally viable. They were economically sound. They were rejected.

When the Power 4 breaks away in 2029-2030 with a worse system, when G5 schools are permanently relegated, when players are still exploited despite "revenue sharing," when coaching chaos continues—this document will be here.

We knew better. We chose money anyway.

Methodology

Research-Based

Every proposal is grounded in:

Data refreshed: April 2026, using 2025-26 season sources. Most recent title reference: Indiana beat Miami in the national championship game on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026.

Legally Viable

Each proposal includes:

  • Legal framework explaining why it's defensible
  • Anticipated challenges and counter-arguments
  • Precedent from professional sports or employment law
  • Compliance with Title IX, antitrust law, and player rights

Legal Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. The legal analysis presented is based on research of existing precedents and case law, but should not be relied upon as professional legal counsel. Consult qualified attorneys for actual legal guidance.

Politically Honest

Every section includes "Why It Won't Happen":

  • Who opposes and why
  • What they lose by adopting it
  • Honest feasibility assessment (1-10 scale)
  • No sugarcoating: if it's dead on arrival, I say so

Who Created This

A College Football Fan Who's Watched Enough

This proposal was created by someone who's loved college football for decades and watched the people in power systematically destroy what made it special.

The sport is being killed by the very institutions entrusted to protect it. Conference commissioners, athletic directors, and NCAA leadership prioritize short-term revenue over long-term sustainability. They benefit from chaos while fans, players, and smaller programs suffer the consequences.

I don't want to see college football die. But without intervention, that's exactly where we're headed.

Why Anonymous?

Because the focus should be on the proposals, not the person behind them. These ideas stand or fall on their merits—legal viability, economic soundness, and political feasibility.

The powerful have names, platforms, and resources. This document is for everyone else: the fans who know something's wrong, the coaches and administrators who see the problems but can't speak out, the players being exploited, and the schools being squeezed.

What This Proposal Is NOT

This is not:

  • Naive: Every section acknowledges why it won't be adopted
  • Partisan: This isn't about politics—it's about power dynamics and money
  • Unrealistic: Every proposal is legally defensible and economically viable
  • Optimistic: The baseline assumption is that none of this will happen
  • For-profit: This website, the PDF, everything is Creative Commons licensed. Use it freely.
  • Legal Advice: I am not a lawyer. This is research and analysis, not professional legal counsel.
  • Affiliated with College Sports Tomorrow (CST) or the College Football Super League (CFSL): We are not affiliated with CST, CFSL, or any breakaway league proposal. We want to make FBS football work for all FBS schools, not create a separate league that excludes programs. This proposal is about reform within the existing structure, not secession.
