I'm finding myself agreeing with you on a number of things, but I disagree with having the boys and girls Sweet 16 at the same time. Like LBBC said, it would result in the girls being ignored by fans and the media in favor of the boys. But you're on point with many of your other suggestions.

 

Ok, Girls start Oct 15th. but their district, region, and state tourneys are always a week to two weeks before the boys.

An earlier start for girls hoops would work, because volleyball is usually done the last week in Oct., and soccer is wrapped up a week later. Most girls wouldn't miss much practice.
