Making it more like flag football every year.With the new kickoff rules which allows the returner to fair catch in the field of play and the ball is placed at the 25 yard line, what percentage of the time will Iowa utilize the fair catch? Here's a prediction of 30%.

The new rules primarily just protects the returner. Unfortunately, the returner is rarely the guy who is on the receiving end of the biggest hits. The gunners and the guys who block them are the guys who experience the dangerous accelerations.A very high percentage.
I'd like to see kickoffs removed from the game. Much higher concussion rates than other plays.
Trying to look up data, for the NFL I found that in 2016 there were 244 concussions, only 20 of those occurred on a kickoff.

I can't take credit for this but I heard of a great idea when it comes to kickoffs plus it would do away with onside kicks.
After you score a TD, you get the ball at your own 40 and its 4th and 10 or 15. End of game situation, you go for it. Otherwise you have the option to punt.
Thoughts?
That sounds like the new football league's onside kickoff rule. In place of the onside kick the ball will be placed at your own 35, 4th and 10. Their claim is that the chances of recovering an onside kick are nearly identical to that of converting the 4th and 10. Not sure where the punt comes from in your version.
Well, if you have the lead in a game obviously you wouldn't go for it, you would just punt.
The new league just gives the receiving team the ball on their own 25 1st and 10, just like a touchback.
Great!
I wasn't talking about the new league though.
Sure sounds like it
