You believe a game would be improved if 40 additional traveling violations were called in every game.

That's an additional violation and whistle every minute of every game.

That's insane.

Uh, that is my point. If this rule were enforced, players would learn to play the game how it was meant to be played. Then there would not be 40 traveling violations. But, as I stated clearly, this would have to be something done from the top down--a major POE.

There aren't.

I'm curious. How long have you been officiating?

It has been a majot POE in NCAAW for the past sevarl years. Then, this year, it was determined that officials did such a good job on getting the travels, that things that weren't travels were being called. So, now the POE is "when in doubt, it isn't". At that level, at least, I disagree with your premise.
