I like both of these. I'd even go the route of saying 18 minute halves such as what Minnesota does. Or split the difference and go 17.

3) eliminate restrictions on logos and corporate sponsorships on uniforms - after all, as long as we can read their numbers on front and back, what the heck difference does it make? If a corporation wants to pay for uniforms and save the school money and all it wants in return is it's logo visible on the uniforms, who cares? (this suggestion came from a ref who's also a HS English teacher)

The traditionalist in me doesn't like it at the high school level.
