then we need better refs, we dont need to change the rules so that teams that play over physical and non-technically sound defense get to get away with just fouling with little chance of losing the offending player.. because those same terrible refs miss actual fouls on players all game too, that doesnt mean we should reduce the number of fouls to compensate for that.

Supposedly, Division I basketball games are officiated by supposedly the best officials known to mankind. I do not think that we want to bring in NBA officials or a football game might break out on the basketball court the way that game is called. I just have no idea where you are going to get better officials.

Perhaps a better idea might be to go the way the women's game has gone with 10 minute segments and each team is allowed 5 fouls before they shoot 2 free throws regardless if it is a shooting the foul or not. I have watched a women's games this season and they do seem to go a little bit faster. Maybe they just know not to foul unlike the men.

Other suggested changes which the NIT is going to use this year.
Move back the 3 point line to the FIBA standard.
20 seconds put on the shot clock after a offensive rebound.
They are also going to the 4 10 minute quarters.
Widening the lane which I do not think is a good idea.

Switching to quarters just means another five minutes of commercials. No thanks.

No it does not. It is actually a good break and almost serves as a TO. It actually might cut down on the number of timeouts during the 4 quarters. The women's game seems to go much faster. Also having 4 quarters would make it easier to implement the 5 foul rule per quarter. None of the rules being used in this year's NIT can be implemented until the 2019 season if that is the way they want to go.

There's a bit of difference in viewership between the mens' game and womens' game and the problem with 4th quarter TOs now is that they make the last 20 seconds of a game take 20 minutes.

Watching the last ten years of football has taught us all that if there's an opportunity for more commercials, there will be more commercials.

4 quarters, 5 fouls per quarter, why not just move the 3 point line back to the NBA distance and change the shot clock to 24 seconds while we're at it? Get rid of the bands and pump in hip hop beats all game as well. :ohbrother: No thanks, let's not make college hoops worse by gradually turning it into the NBA. 20 minute halves aren't a problem, although I'm fine with the 3 point line being the international (FIBA) distance. The 30 second shot clock is short enough, too.

College basketball can remain college basketball and still pick up the pace:

1. One time out per half for TV games. You're going to get at least 4 TV ones per half, anyway. Besides, they clearly don't need 5 per half now because they hoard them until the final 2 minutes, which is one of the things that sucks the life out of games.

2. Get rid of the one and one. It, coupled with the hoarded time outs, turns the final 2 minutes into a 20 minute foul-o-rama, which I highly doubt was what Naismith intended. The bonus becomes 2 shots, double bonus becomes 2 shots and possession. Guess what, you'll have to actually play basketball to make a comeback and you'll be penalized for excessive fouling. Imagine that. :roll1:

3. Use replay the same way for 40 minutes. Stopping the game to review damn near everything in the final 2 minutes is ridiculous, looking to see if we need 2 tenths of a second added to the clock because of course the clock magically stops the instant the ball hits the ground (even though it never does the other 36 minutes).

The shot clock is only set to 20 seconds when you get a offensive rebound. That is not like the NBA. You say that you like games to go a little faster and I think a 10 minute quarter with only one timeout would make the game go faster and you only shoot free throws after the fifth foul and it is always a two shot foul. The college ladies game goes much faster than a man's and is nowhere near like an NBA game.

https://www.si.com/college-basketba...-reforms-undrafted-players-return-agent-rules

The NCAA announced a series of policy changes regarding their rules for student athletes on Wednesday following the ongoing FBI Investigation into several prominent college basketball programs.

"The September 2017 announcement of a federal investigation into fraud in college basketball recruiting made it clear the NCAA needed to make significant changes -- and do so quickly," the NCAA wrote on it's website.

In repsonse to the recommendations issued in April from the Commission on College Basketball, the NCAA's Board of Governors and Division I Board of Directors are implementing changes to provide student-athletes more freedom and flexibilty to decide about going pro and minimize the leverage of outside influences on high school recruits and college athletes. These changes will also make the NCAA investigations and infractions process more efficient, setting stronger penalties for schools or individuals who violate NCAA rules to deter future violations and bringing independent investigators to the table to make decisions and enforce rules.

University presidents and chancellors will also now be personally resposible for their athletics programs abiding by the NCAA's rules.

Among the most significant changes are the new rules that allow undrafted players to return to school and give high school and college athletes the opporunity to be represented by an agent.

"These changes will promote integrity in the game, strengthen accountability and prioritize the interests of student-athletes over every other factor," NCAA leaders said in joint statement.

The investigation launched in 2017 uncovered mass corruption, bribery and wire fraud involving some of the sport's top programs. Several coaches were indicted in a fraud and corruption scheme — which also included managers, financial advisers and Adidas representatives.

The new policies were put in place to prevent further corruption and dissuade future rule-breakers.

NCAA ANNOUNCES MAJOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL RULE CHANGES, INCLUDING ALLOWING UNDRAFTED PLAYERS TO RETURN TO SCHOOL

95084_h.jpg


The NCAA dropped a bombshell in regards to college basketball on Wednesday, announcing that players who go undrafted will be allowed to return to school for another season.

The rule is just one of many that the NCAA announced Wednesday afternoon, the majority of which have to deal with NBA draft eligibility.

In addition to allowing undrafted players to return to college if they so choose, the NCAA also announced that certain high school and college athletes that are defined as "elite" prospects will be allowed to hire an agent on July 1 before their senior year of high school. This new rule, however, is pending a decision by the NBA that would allow high school players to once again become eligible for the draft.

College players can be represented by an agent following any basketball season if they request and get approval from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee. That rule has gone into effect immediately.

Other rules regarding agents can be read below from the NCAA statement:

Agents can pay for expenses

Agents can pay for meals and transportation for players and their families if the expenses are related to the agent selection process. Also, the student cannot miss class, and the money must be spent where the student lives or attends school. Additionally, high school and college student-athletes and their families can have meals, transportation and lodging paid for by an agent if those expenses are associated with meetings with the agent or a pro team.

These changes are subject to revisions to the Uniform Athlete Agents Act, Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act and relevant state laws. If/when those are changed, the new rules are effective immediately.

Agent agreements

All agreements between agents and high school or college student-athletes must be:

  • In writing.
  • Terminated when the student enrolls in or returns to college.
  • Disclosed to the NCAA (for high school students) or the school (for students already in college).
This change is effective immediately.

NCAA announces new college basketball policy, including player agents and longer postseason bans

The NCAA adopted a series of policy and rule changes Wednesday that it hopes will clean up college basketball, which has been engulfed by an FBI investigation and other corruption over the past two years.

Among the significant changes that were adopted by the NCAA's board of governors and Division I board of directors are allowing elite high school basketball recruits and college players to be represented by agents -- who are certified by the NCAA -- while still playing; allowing players to enter the NBA draft and return to school if undrafted; introducing more rigorous certification requirements for summer basketball-related events; and longer postseason bans, head coach suspensions and increased recruiting restrictions for college coaches who break the rules.

I do not see that as a very good idea. You are going to encourage a lot of fringe players to declare for the draft because what do they have to lose if they can just come back to school. Also, coaches are also going to have to be very careful on they recruit especially with regard to the numbers if guys are going to be able to come back after declaring. For me, I see no good in what this does.

give high school and college athletes the opporunity to be represented by an agent.

I think this is another stupid idea where are these guys going to get the money to pay these agents or is the money going to be made available by some type of fund set up by the NCAA or maybe the agents will work for free.. I just see a lot of trouble getting agents involved especially kids in high school.

Yeah, I don't see a lot of benefit to the changes and a risk to creating some issues. Interesting where this leaves guys drafted in the second round. They have no guarantee of the NBA and presume still can't return to college. Also, I don't see addressed whether an undrafted player can go to NBA team camps after the draft to try and make a team and still return to college. And of course, agents are generally in it for themselves, so it introduces new concerns. Its relatively clear now that you can't have contact with agents, but now that you can have contact with agents, you know agents are going to try and throw things at kids that aren't permissible (not that they didn't before, but before you knew to stay away from agents completely, but now they have ability to get in).
