This applies to any set of rules for American football, for the sake of cosmetic dignity:
- Require jersey sleeves or matching color undershirt sleeves to extend to the elbow of both arms.
- Require legs to be covered from the top of the shoes to the pants - NO EXPOSED LEG SKIN.
- Require the full circumference of the jersey, or matching color undershirt, to be tucked into the pants - NO EXPOSED BODY SKIN, under any playing condition, i.e., while inactively standing or actively performing.
- Require all players to have a single mouthpiece attached to their facemask, and worn in the mouth on every down, OR
- Eliminate the requirement for a mouthpiece.
- Eliminate all blocks below the waist. (Oh, yeah, NF already has that...)
- Prohibit the reduction in field lighting to less than 25 lumens at the field level whenever squad members, in or out of uniform, of either team are on the field.
- Prohibit any band from playing or making any discernable noise once the ball is ready for play for the opening kickoff until the game is declared over, except during a charged team timeout, media timeout, or between periods.
- Require all game sites to have visible play clocks.
- Require all game sites to have a referee's field microphone, with lapel style microphone (head/ear mounted microphones not permitted).
- Require both teams to each have a minimum of 3 balls persons, with at least one stationed on each sideline during the game. (The third person would be a 'runner' to keep their balls balanced between both sidelines).
- Require that all pre-game activity - including the national anthem and school songs - is completed and the field is completely clear not later than 5 minutes before kickoff - subject to penalty. And,
- Require that the visiting team enter the field NLT 4:30 before kickoff and captains must be at the 50 yard line at their sideline NLT 4:00 before kickoff - subject to penalty. And,
- Require that the home team enter the field NLT 4:00 before kickoff and captains must be at the 50 yard line at their sideline NLT 3:30 before kickoff - subject to penalty.
- Coin toss shall be executed at 3:00 before kickoff - no exceptions.
- The Home team shall ensure that there will be separate game clock and play clock operators, and that both shall report to the officials dressing room at 60 minutes prior to the game for a brief conference with the Referee - subject to penalty.
- Home team shall ensure that there will be a chain crew of not fewer than four persons above the age of 12, and that they shall report to the field, with the full set of down and line-to-gain equipment NLT than 30 minutes before the kickoff for a conference with the Head Line Judge - subject to penalty.
- The Home team shall ensure that a licensed peace officer with jurisdiction at the game site is on duty when the game officials arrive on site, and who shall remain in close proximity of game officials throughout the contest, and shall escort the game officials between their dressing facility and the field, and from their dressing facility to their vehicles, and who shall ensure the safe arrival and departure of the game officials to/from the game site, and beyond, as may be necessary.
- The Home team shall ensure that the designated game administrator meets with the game officials when they arrive on site, and is available to assist the game officials throughout the contest.
- The Home team shall ensure that there is a secure dressing facility for the game officials that does not require the game officials to pass through any team dressing room, coaches offices, training room, or any other space that may be occupied or available to any other person during the time the game officials are on site.
- If the secure dressing facility for the game officials is greater than 50 yards from the playing field, the Home team shall ensure that there is transportation to and from the field, on demand.
I can probably think of more, but these are the things that are, typically, in 'policy' manuals, but need to be in the Rules.
