HRES 1011

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.

Jan 20, 2026

A resolution in the House of Representatives would state that college football's top division (FBS) should change its postseason to give more teams a chance to compete and make college athletics more financially stable. It would also suggest looking at new ideas, like bigger playoff brackets, to make competition fairer. This is a formal opinion from the House, not a law that forces changes.

It would also consider if U.S. citizens should be restricted from traveling to Iran if it's too risky.
