When a team is penalized and the penalty yardage is more than the distance they have behind them, move the ball halfway to the goal line but add the additional yardage at the other end. For example, a team is on their own 10 yard line and they commit a fifteen yard penalty move the ball to the five but move the sticks ten yards so they have to make it to the thirty for a first down. That way they are actually getting a fifteen yard penalty.
I know that this might be controversial, but because they are so concerned with player safety, especially on kickoffs, they've moved the touchback like to the 25 instead of the twenty. Since most kickoffs go into or over the end zone. I'd just eliminate kickoffs and place the ball on the twenty.
When there is a defensive penalty on a touchdown, it is applied to the ensuing kickoff which is meaningless because all it does is allow the kicking team to kick the ball out of the end zone. I'd place the ball on the 10 yard line and make it first and ten. If it was a fifteen yard penalty, it would be first and fifteen from the ten.
Any other ideas or comments?

Not going to happen but shorten the game with less and shorter commercials

I like the idea of 1 challenge for anything. I hate when you can’t challenge a non reviewable play when it is critical to the outcome. In OT, the team that loses the toss should get a chance to score a TD if the coin toss winner scores a TD on the first drive.

With the big bucks they are giving the pro teams (and the college conferences), you will probably see more commercials A couple weeks ago, I stated watching a college game that started at 12:30 PM. I had some things to do, so I turned it off at about 1:00. I came back to the game at 3:00 expecting it to be well into the 4th quarter. Nope - they were just kicking off to start the third quarter. Too many commercials, too many "reviews" by the officials. Good games have become booooring!!
