This calendar in college football in so many ways is broken. So can you imagine for a moment, just just, you know, maybe just picture this. The NFL. They finished their 17th game, so everyone plays and then we've got this playoff ready to go. The playoffs, they're set. We're excited. And a lot of ways the sport's never hotter. Everyone's ready to go. And then the NFL takes a month off and they decide to conduct their NFL draft and have free agency. But they don't do that separately. They just do that all in the same week. Can you imagine that? Of course, you can't imagine that because that would be absolutely insane. And yet that's the insanity that we are in college football. Let me show you what our calendar looks like in the month of December. It's wild. December 2nd this year, we played conference championship games. Two days later, the transfer portal opened up and we're going to have early signing day on the 20th. So we're going to have the transfer portal open and commits flying around and try to sign high school recruits all at the same time. That's free agency and the draft all at the same time. What are we doing? Why do we do that? And by the way, we haven't even played the semifinals yet. So January 1st we're going to get the semifinal games. Then the second the portal closes because we got to get these kids into school for their spring semester. And then we're going to play the National championship after this. This is a pretty easy fix. OK the first thing that we need to do is understand that we no longer have the historical bull season that we used to, that we're going to wait for January 1st, take a bunch of time off for finals, and then play these games and get ready for the spring semester. The world in so many ways in college football has changed and we need to change and evolve with it. One of the things that we need to do is make sure that our playoffs starts right after the regular season ends. So see this December 2nd conference championship games. I want the semifinal games to move all the way up right here, which means you can bump down Everything else. Then you would open up the portal and you would have a portal section and period where you can get kids, recruit kids and get them in for the spring semester. Then we would no longer have early signing day, but we would have traditional signing day and it would be separate. This would be better for everybody involved. It would be better for fans, it would be better for the health of the sport because as the sport is at its hottest point late in the regular season, we would just jam right into the playoffs. OK, so you take all those big ratings and all of that enthusiasm and you continue it into the playoffs, then you have free agency transfer portal, then you have high school signing day, which is the draft, and those players would be able to make decisions with better information. OK, it wouldn't be this blender of what we have right now. And it would also allow these coaches to, I would say, conduct their business in a more organized manner and build rosters, I think in a more organized manner as well. So this calendar that we just experienced, we need to throw it out. We need to do something a little bit different in college football. This is not 1980 anymore. Let's start acting like we're in 2023 and beyond. And I think we can do that by fixing the month of December in college football.
