A more competitive league

That's a decent starter for ten, Mason.

FWIW .... They need to take a look at the techniques used over in America. Although there are NFL teams and NBA teams that are big fish, the competitions are typically won by a variety of teams over the years.

Ideas for Scottish Football to achieve what the thread title asks:

1. Salary Cap. Not a % of turnover - a hard limit in £'s
2. Squad size restriction. A fixed number of players - to get rid of all this loan nonsense.
3. Young Player Draft. Doesn't matter which Academy they were at. Bottom team gets first pick etc.

Something like this is far too scary for the closed minds of not just Scottish Football, but European and World Football.

Pipe dream I'm unlikely to witness in my lifetime but if they want to avoid European football eating itself to oblivion it's something they need to look at.

Usually it's the same teams that win the NFL.

We should never look at the NFL.

That’s not even near being true.

Only one team has won the super bowl more than once in the last 10 years.

Edit sorry 2 teams have won it twice in the last 10 years,still more competitive than our league though.

How about 1 instantly rescindible red card, per game, per difference in league position, favouring the lower placed team at time of kick off?

So, as we are second, we can get ours in early, get Scott Brown, or Craig Gordon 'served' wi a full set o studs ( i.e. baith feet ), tae the throat.

Worst case scenario, injured party recovers ... but that would be our assigned assassins fault for ****in up.
Best case, injured party is stretchered aff ... but nae afore two of his team-mates retaliate and get red carded .... and proper sent aff ... whilst our guy stays on via the 'get out of jail free' card.

If we're lucky, 9 man Timmy will be a wee bit hot under the collar, mak a few rash tackles, give awa a few tasty free kicks, and we might even get a pen, maybe even win ... and the three points will be handy ahead o' oor game the week efter v bottom side Dundee ... wi 11 'get oot o jail free' cards

The North Korean election night is more competitive than our league.

We had this discussion a few years back on here about copying the NFL for the European cup and I made the argument that the same amount of teams have won over the last 30yrs or so.

The NFL is too different to copy for our league. Way too different.

The draft system would never work. Ever.
