1. College Football Scheduling & Promotion

Strong advocacy for a centralized “Schedule Release Day” (e.g., May 1 or June 1) run by the conference/commissioner instead of schools. Compares favorably to NFL schedule release (brilliant marketing despite being predictable). Non-conference scheduling is currently chaotic and unfair; centralized system would create more buzz and equity.
