We need a College Football Commissioner. I have one in mind from Texas

Our Summary

Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte has proposed several changes to college football scheduling and playoff structure. He suggests eliminating conference championship games and beginning the playoffs earlier, with semifinals on January 1 and the national championship a week later. Del Conte also advocates for playoff expansion while maintaining the regular season's importance. His ideas include starting the season in what is currently Week 0, adding a 13th regular-season game, and requiring Power Four teams to play at least 10 power opponents for playoff eligibility. Del Conte's proposals aim to enhance competition and fan experience, leveraging marquee nonconference games and expanding the playoff system to boost viewership and revenue. His influence is notable, as Texas successfully pushed for a nine-game SEC conference schedule shortly after joining the conference.
