The Game Deserves a Governing Body Equal to Its Magnitude.
The College Football Governance Council is a membership venue for independent governance and enforcement in FBS college football. The sport has not had a cross-conference body built for that work.
College Football Generates $4 Billion a Year and Operates Without a Unified Governing Body.
The NIL marketplace is unregulated. Coaching tampering complaints have increased 300%. The transfer portal operates without consistent cross-conference oversight. And the NCAA — the only body with historical jurisdiction — takes 18 to 36 months to resolve major infractions cases. The sport has outgrown its governance.

About CFGC
Introducing the College Football Governance Council
A 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association incorporated in Texas. Organized as an independent membership venue for governance and enforcement in FBS college football, complementary to the NCAA and the College Sports Commission, not a replacement for either.
Neutral Enforcement
Independent cross-conference investigations free from institutional conflicts of interest.
NIL Governance
Fair-market analysis and collective-oversight tools for NIL activity among participating members, excluding work that belongs to the College Sports Commission.
AI-Powered Compliance
A monitoring architecture designed to surface patterns while a season is still in motion, rather than years after the fact.
Due Process Guaranteed
Written notice, right to respond, full access to evidence, independent arbitration, and right to counsel.
Why Now
The Urgency Is Not Theoretical.
The House v. NCAA settlement created a $20.5 million annual revenue-sharing framework and established the College Sports Commission. The NIL market now exceeds $1.67 billion annually. Coaching tampering complaints have increased 300% in three years. And the NCAA's own enforcement timeline — 18 to 36 months for major infractions cases — cannot keep pace with a sport that moves in real time.
The Council exists to give conferences and institutions a place to apply a common standard across those gaps. No existing body is structurally positioned to do that cross-conference work alone.
Independent governance works when the conferences and institutions it serves are at the table. Membership is the way that seat is taken.
