just a heads up, a lot of these leagues i don't watch much if at all anymore. so take it with a heavy dose of salt.
mlb (don't watch)
- shorten season and have everyone play everyone at least 1 series. 2 divisions, 15 teams each, play everyone in your division a 3 game home series and 3 away. that's 90 games. then 1 3 game series for the other division. that's 135 games.
- not sure how, but speed up the game. limit pitcher swaps/game or something.
nfl
- either play a full 15 minute ot or go to some modified college ot rule. at least let each team have a chance with the ball. it's better now that it was, but not great still.
- i like ela's change on illegal contact.
nba (don't watch)
- call traveling. maybe it's changed, but when i did watch and big reason i stopped is cause they started ignoring traveling and players were running around all over the place like this sentence.
- shorten playoff season. not really # of games, but timeline. it takes 2+ months. that's almost a damn season length.
ncaa bb
- go to 4 qtrs, 15 min each. not sure why mens cbb is still on the half structure.
- agree with ela's draft idea.
ncaa fb
- if a coach leaves (whatever reason) players can leave without sitting, with exception that they can't follow coach (more to prevent coaches from poaching former schools than to limit players).
- do away with ejections for targeting. much to harsh when compared to similar type fouls (facemasks, clipping, horse collar, etc.). the fouls are to protect players and i'm 100% for that. but only 1 has the chance to get you kicked out of the game and it's more often than not a very subjective call. giving ref's too much impact on game, whether they want it or mean to or not. call the foul, keep playing. there are other, already existing rules that could/should cover a player being far too violent and needing to be ejected. flagrant personal foul being one, or committing 2 unsportsmanlike fouls.
