A time for change

     Are the vast changes in the rules of our favorite past-times a good thing?  Over the years we have seen our favorite sports advance and modify over the years.  The game play itself has seemed to remain the same until the recent past.
    The NFL not only protects the quarterback, but recent ideas of change have been put on the table.  One of the one's I want to point out: protect the unprotected wide-out.  The rule would be that the defender is not allowed to hit him until he makes a move in a direction.  How is this going to work?  Will the ref blow a whistle when it's fair to hit?  May as well wear flags their waists.  The safety's job is to jar the ball loose...  The overtime rule is retarded too.  It's better, but still not quite it.  Just let them play til there is a winner.  Why change the rules for the playoffs only?  Too many strange things that just don't get it right.
    Now it has hit the news that they want to expand the NCAA tourny field to 96!  Good bye Cinderella story. Sure we will have some 9 seed make a run. Does it really mean anything if there is an 18 seeded team? 
   I just want someone to enlighten me as to why those in charge keep thinking they have to change a good thing.  I can understand moving the 3 point line back, no leading with the helmet.  But no hitting a reciever when he catches the ball. Allowing 96 teams in? (What would it mean to win the NIT?)  Come on guys lets just enjoy the good thing we have!
