The BCS offers a centralized information source where it aggressively promotes its agenda. In contrast, most pro-reform thought is scattered around the Internet in countless op-eds and fan blog posts. College football will not change until reformers offer media outlets, government officials, and fans a centralized resource of pro-reform news and scholarship. That’s why Playoff PAC has aggregated key documents below. Please check back often, as we will continually add to this “document hub.”
