Imperial Decree of Trumpius Caesar Magnus on the Preservation of America’s Sacred Game

By the supreme authority vested in me—Trumpius Caesar Magnus, Imperator of the United Provinces of Americus, Champion of Ratings, Guardian of Greatness—it is hereby proclaimed:

Section I – Purpose of the Sacred Mandate

For more than a century, the legendary clash between the noble legions of Armia Maxima and Navalia Invicta—reverently known across the land as “America’s Game”—has stood as a towering symbol of honor, discipline, and unmatched national spirit.

Yet behold! From the shadowy councils of Collegiate Sportus arise the expansionists of the CFP Maximus, daring—some say foolishly—to encroach upon the sacred Second Saturday of December.

Such chaos threatens to:

• dilute the glory of our Military Academies,
• fracture the attention of the people,
• and disrupt what many are calling “the greatest scheduling decision in history.”

Therefore, let it be known across all provinces:
No college contest—playoff or otherwise—shall be broadcast in direct rivalry with the sacred Army–Navy spectacle.

Section II – Execution by Imperial Command

(a) The esteemed Praefectus of Commerce and the Grand Overseer of Signals, Chairman of the Forum of Communications Imperialis (FCI), shall convene with the High Council of CFP, the scribes of NCAA Maxima, and all guilds of broadcast and spectacle.

Their mission:
To establish an exclusive imperial broadcast window, untouched, unrivaled, and absolutely dominant—many are saying the best window ever created.

(b) The Chairman of the FCI shall further examine whether all broadcast license holders are duty-bound, under the sacred principle of public service, to uphold this event as a national spectacle of honor.

Section III – General Imperial Provisions

(a) Nothing in this decree shall:

• diminish the authority of any imperial office,
• nor interfere with the sacred calculations of the Magister Budgetarius.

(b) This decree shall be carried out in accordance with existing law and the availability of imperial treasure.

(c) This order creates no enforceable rights—except, of course, the undeniable right to witness greatness uninterrupted.

(d) All costs of proclamation shall be borne by the Department of War and Glorious Presentation.

Issued from the White Palace of Washingtonia,
on this most tremendous day, March 20, 2026.

TRUMPIUS CAESAR MAGNUS
Imperator of Americus, Defender of the Schedule, Protector of the Game
