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.

Expanded Athletic Opportunity: The resolution suggests that expanding the postseason to a broad, bracketed format could give more teams a meaningful late-season path (Resolution, Whereas clauses).

Increased Competitive Balance: By reforming postseason design and revenue structures, the House aims to reduce anticompetitive effects that entrench advantages for a select few schools (Resolution, Item 2).

Improved Financial Sustainability: Implementing a more unified approach to packaging and monetizing media rights, alongside a broad-access postseason, could create a more valuable national product and distribute benefits more widely (Whereas clauses).

Protection of Student-Athlete Welfare: The resolution calls for expanding competitive opportunities in a manner that is consistent with academic integrity and student-athlete welfare (Resolution, Item 1).

Potential Season Disruptions: The text notes that a larger bracketed postseason would need to be paired with "responsible season design," which includes a shorter regular season (Whereas clauses).

Financial Sustainability Pressures: The resolution acknowledges that the current FBS system faces sustainability pressure, noting that the median FBS program has operated with a median operating deficit (Whereas clauses).
