AI Summary

  • Urges the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to implement a "Plus-One" model playoff system allowing competition among the top four ranked college football teams to determine a national champion in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

  • Criticizes the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) system for relying on complex mathematical computations, polls, and corporate/television influences rather than on-field performance, and for disadvantaging smaller "Mid-Major" conferences and independent schools.

  • Notes that the FBS is the only NCAA-sponsored sport without an organized tournament to determine a champion, unlike other NCAA divisions and college sports.

  • Requests that the NCAA reserve at least 10 percent of seating in the first national playoff championship game for active and veteran members of the U.S. armed forces.

  • Requests that the NCAA allocate 10 percent of the national championship game proceeds (after expenses) to scholarship foundations at participating schools for handicapped students with financial need.
