Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the structure and governance of the Football Bowl Subdivision postseason should prioritize broad-based athletic opportunity, financial sustainability for college athletics, and competitive balance, and that innovative proposals to expand broad based postseason participation-such as proposals advanced by Coach Mike Leach-warrant serious consideration to mitigate anticompetitive effects in top-division college football.

This resolution expresses the House's view that the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) postseason should be restructured to prioritize broader athletic opportunity, financial sustainability, and competitive balance. It specifically highlights Coach Mike Leach's proposal for a larger, bracket-style playoff (e.g., 16-64 teams) paired with a shorter regular season, noting current CFP limitations (only 12 teams selected, 27 teams in CFP era) and financial inequities (SEC/Big Ten receive ~29% of revenue each, 70% of schools lose money on bowls). The resolution urges evaluating reforms to reduce anticompetitive effects, referencing successful broader-bracket models used in NCAA Divisions I FCS, II, and III. It does not mandate changes but calls for serious consideration of proposals that could expand participation and distribute benefits more widely.
