CFBPA Platform for Change

At the College Football Players Association, we believe college football players—especially at the highest level of play—deserve a seat at the table to help shape the enforceable rules, rights and responsibilities of the game they make possible. Our goal is to secure collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) that create a more just, sustainable future for everyone involved.

The CFBPA Platform for Change outlines our priorities for future CBA negotiations. It has been developed and refined over the past five years with ongoing input from our Alumni Member Leadership Committee.

  1. Guaranteed access to independent medical care

  2. Safer, healthier practice standards aligned with the NFL and Ivy League

  6. Free agency and eligibility standards negotiated directly with players

  7. Length of season and any further playoff expansion negotiated directly with athletes
