Because this was so last second, you've been awarded a single action item that will be accomplished immediately without litigation or bureaucratic red tape. What do you do to "save" the sport?

For me, it'd be implementing limits and controls on advertising. I'm tired of the money of the sport dictating the actual sport (read updating the running clock rules) and while in our society it certainly can't be eliminated. But I would put limits on how many and how long media timeouts are allowed to be, and revert clock rules to pre 2023 or similar rules. CFB has a captive audience so you could dramatically increase ad prices to counter limited space, so I honestly believe that revenue losses would be minimal. That and smack caps on said media deals, and force the broadcasters to more evenly distribute coverage amongst non super 2 programs. In the age of streaming there's no reason we can't have more broadcast crews covering more games. I'd even recommend combining the media's systems with the college's own broadcast systems for better coverage (think mlb getting two different broadcasts for each team's crew).
