I think the way forward can be a 14 team ISL (maybe bring in Punjab, CCFC and GKFC), 12 to 14 team I league (with promotion to ISL) and I League 2 along the current model. Perhaps reinstate Fed Cup. We would at least be back to pre-ISL days.
Improve the fixtures, lot of learning also happens through good training sessions, recovery time helps in players performing to best of their abilities.
12(Teams play thrice),14 or 16 teams - 8 months season + Federation Cup
I-League with 12-14 teams and then 2nd Division with regional groups and final round.
Lastly have proper calendar. Teams can plan and prepare in advance not like wait 2 weeks before league to know what's going to happen this year.
