I can't remember anything recently happening save for the end of one of the games with the replacement officials...but that controversy was more the fact that it was a replacement official making the call...and a correct one at that. Could they raise the uprights? I suppose they could, but that would only to be solve an "issue" that hardly comes up (at least in the sense where people who actually know the rules have a hard time saying conclusively or not).

I think it really is a non-issue. Any portion of the ball over the upright? No good. I am not an engineer and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night but I would think raising the upright height even further without widening them would lead to structural stability issues, especially when wind comes into play.

Lasers on the goal posts. So, when the ball goes over them, on replay you'll see exactly if it's in, out, or over.......or, whatever.

Plasma cutters. If any portion of the ball is missing, you know it was no good.

Honestly, I don't think some sort of visible light extending upward is all that bad an idea.
You want to get super hi-tech? Get rid of the uprights completely. Just a bottom bar that projects a red field straight up, equipped with the technology used by police radar... if the field is interrupted, it's good.

at some point, we'll just have the whole thing officiated by video and replay. We could sell it for the aspect of safety for the refs and the accuracy of the game...
 Part of the aspect of sports is the human side to officials and players. When that disappears, the fan base dimishes. Just leave it and don't sweat the stuff that happens one time in a million
