This is a House resolution expressing support for reforming how college football's top division (the Football Bowl Subdivision) structures its postseason championship. Right now, only 12 teams out of 136 make the College Football Playoff—meaning fewer than one in ten programs get a real shot at the championship. The resolution argues this narrow system is unfair and unsustainable. It highlights that the same championship opportunities exist at lower levels of college football, where Division II has a 32-team bracket and Division III has a 40-team bracket. The resolution specifically endorses ideas proposed by Coach Mike Leach for a broader playoff format—potentially 16, 32, or 64 teams—that would give more schools a meaningful path to compete for a championship. The resolution also points out that the current system concentrates money among a few powerful conferences (the SEC and Big Ten get about 29% each of playoff revenue, while smaller conferences get only 9%), and that many schools actually lose money participating in bowl games. The resolution calls on Congress to support reforms that would expand opportunity for student-athletes, create more competitive balance, and make college football financially sustainable for more institutions.

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.
