    What rule would you change/implement???

    If you change/implement any pro, college, HS rule in sports what would it be??? All sports included.

    Out of all the BS ticky tacky rules in today's sports I would implement something to prohibit players from jumping in when the refs are discussing a situation/penalty. You get flagged for a minor TD celebration but allow players to take over a referee huddle they shouldn't be involved in??? Keep the players away a certain distance away unless they are asked to participate.

    im really sick of the illegal hits that get called in the secondary...i understand that these receivers are vulnerable....nobody wants to see these guys get hurt....but it happens anyway..... the rulemakers need to realize how fast it is....hows its just instinct....the 15 yard flag doesnt stop guys from doing it....it keeps happening....because you cant help it..

    NBA: either rewrite the continuation rule or call it as the rule states. " fouled in the act of shooting", every player be in a rookie or a AllStar gets bumped with 2 feet on the ground and ball at waist. Proceeds to take 2 steps and shoot ball and they call continuation. Atleast its consistant but if you call it that way please change rule to " once fouled take up to 3 steps and shoot ball to get continuation. "

    I agree...protecting players is one thing...turning it into flag football is another...I think it's pretty clear someone is going to get hurt from time to time in football.

    I'd like to see them legalize forward motion before the snap in the NFL. Would be exciting, plus kickers could make 75 yard field goals with a running start.

    Pass interference should be reviewable....too big of a penalty and the refs are running and get the call wrong half the time.

    i agree...at the same time....its a judgement call....we might as well review every ball and strike in baseball....this isnt a foul ball...or a ball crossing a line...being in bounds or out....

    If it's a spot foul resulting in more than 15 yds for the offense I agree...may be a bit time consuming to look at all of them.

    I wouldn't mind seeing them just award someone first base for an intentional walk rather than waste the time for the 4 pitches...

    get rid of only needing 1 foot inbounds in college football. Make it both just like in high school and the nfl

    Enough of these td's getting reversed in the end zone that wouldn't of ever been reversed 40, 30 20 or even 2 years ago like the calvin johnson td against chicago. If you catch it and come down with 2 feet , its a td as long as you don't fumble

    Should get one challenge per game for any call (not ball or strike).

    NFL
    Take out basically every rule they put in since the Goodell era began.

    NCAAF
    One foot in bounds, knee down play dead still make no sense to me.

    NCAA Hoops
    Shot clock bumped down. I don't care 35 seconds is way to long to hold a basketball without a shot attempt.

    NHL
    Overtime period should be 10:00.

    NBA
    That new arguing rule really sucked last year. Too many T's when refs egos got in the way because of it.

    Stop the clock in the NFL when a team makes a first down in the final 2 minutes of each half to move the markers make for some more exciting finishes

    ALL REPLAY ALL THE TIME IN EVERY SPORT

    the technology is available. why not use it when you need it?? if the ball goes over the plate in the zone its a strike- not if some guy says its a strike. thats ridiculous the amount of power umps and refs have unnecessarily.

    They usually show if it's a ball or strike prior to the umpire anyways. I like taking the human error factor out of the game...everyone has a fair shot...

    In hockey eliminate the shootout, Instead eliminate a player from each side every 2 minutes the OT passes, Once it got down to 3-3 or 2-2 it would be wide open hockey

    Bases:
    Dont let the batters step out of the box after every pitch. No timeouts for adjusting the gloves or ass scratching. Too much time wasted.

    get rid of replays, i am sick of everything being under official review. Its bad enough we have to have a commercial every 1st down its worse when every second down you got a review.

    NFL pass interference. Should not be a spot foul. Refs butcher this call way too much for its to be such a significant penalty.

    Being able to challenge penalties like pass interference and blocking in the back on kick/punt returns. I notice refs can use pass interference and blocking in the back penalties to basically change a game completely or to keep a team within the spread.

    NCAA Hoops. No more posession arrow. Last offensive player to posess the ball shoots a 3 for it.
