The problem with this, is that this is how they should've done the Player 2 Project from the start, but they wanted to make it more difficult and then surprisingly it burnt people out. You won't ever get this passed because they didn't implement it effectively last time and ruined your shot at implementing it the right way, more like what you've proposed. It never should've been double work. It never should've made it harder on the member. It always should've just been a bonus.
That being sad, keep coming up with ideas and people might eventually listen. I just kept throwing things at the wall hoping they'd stick - unfortunately when they did they let the wrong people get their hands on how it should be implemented and work.
Last thing, because it seemed there might have been some confusion earlier - the SBA doesn't allow 2 players at the pro level, you're just allowed to have a 2nd player at the college level, which can become your main player when your pro one retires - shortening the time you have to spend in the development league (another thing the VHL should be doing). The EFL does allow 2 players, but its limited to one offensive and one defensive, given the two distinct sides of the ball.
