Start alternative PED only leagues, who doesn't want to see 600' home runs.

College baseball - get rid of the rule where you can’t take the 2B or SS out to break up the double play.

College football- eliminate the penalty when a player continues playing after his helmet comes off.

NHL - the first 10 minutes of OT should be 5 on 5. The next 10 should be 3 on 3.

NBA - shot clock should start as soon as the ball is inbounded - not when a player touches it.

It used to just be the foreign players that probably watched a lot of soccer. Now they all do it. Some times two guys do it any time they touch each other.



Kick NBA players that flop out of the game for at least a quarter. If it happens in the fourth, they don't play in the first quarter of the next game.

Because it does happen sometimes, and it’s a terrible rule

Metal bats in baseball.
The excuse for aluminum bats has always been the cost of wooden bats.
With NIL, this might be possible for players of big-time programs. Doubt smaller college programs, or high school programs, could afford them.

The alternate possession in college basketball on a “jump ball”.

First, it’s called a “jump ball” for a reason. You’re supposed to have a jump ball to decide possession.

Second, roughly 50% of the time it penalizes the defense for a good play.

Nothing worse as a defender than tying up a guy, only for the offense to keep possession. Of course, the rule may have arose out of mostly guards tying up big men…who had a big advantage in a jump ball situation. So to fix that you allow each team to select who will take the jump ball, not force the two in the tie-up to take it

I see this is HS and college...baseball and softball...the higher seeded team should always be the host and home team. In regional and super regionals...seeing the "home team" be the road team in game three is absurd.

HS is far worse. I see in every sport, including football a lower seed host a higher seed. It defeats the purpose of seeding when you lose the only advantage you earned all season.

Change baseball to 5 innings.
Put a time cap on football at 3 hrs for 4 Qtrs or limit commercial breaks. 4 1/2 hour CBS games are ridiculous.

That’s a great answer. I would probably watch basketball again if they did that.

In the NFL, no team should be included in the playoffs with a losing record.
