Ideas for mods

I'm playing around with a few ideas for future mods and wonder if anyone has anything else they can think of.

1 - National Service / Callups - Choose a country, an age range and a duration and all players that meet that criteria get called up for a certain length of time (done by placing them on the DL list - I've put all US players in a MLB league on 730 days injury if they're between 18 and 21 and it's been ok so far!)

2 - Mass Culls - such as in the PLAGUE!!! dynasty. The ability to wipe out of the draft class (or the entire league) a set percentage of players.

I'll limit the ideas to those involving players as it causes less problems when messing around with them.

Is it possible to combine ideas 1 and 2? I'm thinking of the following-

-add, for example, a steroids suspension diagnosis to the injury database (that's dead easy);
-annually assign the injury to a fixed percentage of players;
-if possible, link the injury probability to player personality ratings- perhaps intelligence, leadership...

One could do the same with narcotics suspensions, arrests, etc- you could have a convicts' league where players are constantly getting arrested for various things, which might make for an interesting variant on the plague idea. Mind, I'd never be able to use the mod anyway, if, as I assume, it would be PC-only.
