for me, definitely get rid of penalty kicks to determine a winner if tied after 90 minutes or after extra time in playoffs and championship games in Soccer.

Under 20 seconds in the NBA/NCAAB up 3 and you foul intentionally it should be 3 free throws.

I hate the ot rules in college football. You play a football game for 60 mins and its tied so now we play a different game where everybody gets the ball at their opponents 25 yard line. ...what is that ? it's not football.

Each team should be guaranteed 1 possesion , then its sudden death. ... or just go back to ties and make the coaches grow some balls.

shot clock in college in basketball needs to be 25 or 24.

Agree with this. UConn this year at the end of the title game was just holding the ball, like a RB running for 3-4 yards a pop and killing clock. Not very exciting at all. They should atleast go to 30 but 24-27 would be even better.

I would change the definition of a tackle across all levels of football. The defender should to wrap up the offensive player and bring him down.

I would change College Basketball back to the real sport of basketball


Give them 6th fouls. With as much fouling as they call nowadays, who wants to see the star player sitting because he picked up TWO fouls? Whack.
