Instead of all these rules to encourage or discourage fouling why not just make a rule that the fouled team gets to choose it's FT shooter?
Every team then instantly has a bespectacled 50 year old (former) accountant type who simply does not miss on the roster. Sort of like a DH in baseball or a FG kicker in football.
As soon as the FT's are made he simply subs back out (again, these kind of guys don't miss).
When FT % get up into the 90's, teams will stop fouling.
At the very least we are spared the pain of watching a lot of these guys shoot free throws.

I do not know if you saw this or not but I know how much you like to see the time fly by in the games. Well, it took Virginia and Auburn 38 minutes to play the first half of their game Saturday night and that was too fast for CBS. So, CBS added 2 minutes to make the halftime that much longer. They had to get all of the commercials in that they missed during the first half.
The NCAA will probably put a rule in that you cannot play a half in less than 40 minutes..

I wouldn't say I want to see games "fly by", but when the last 90 seconds take 15 minutes to play it gets a bit ridiculous.
I wasn't aware they extended halftime but if that's the price for more continuous minutes of play I'll take it.

I think it is about time they move back the three point line
Not sure about the 4 other proposed rule changes. However I am almost positive that the third one mentioned will be passed. Do not want to see more reviews which the last one calls for.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Now it is official.....
NCAA approves rule changes including moving back 3-point line to international distance
A deeper 3-point line is just one of several new rule proposals to take effect this season
The NCAA approved a proposal Wednesday from its men's basketball rules committee to extend the 3-point line more than a foot deeper than its current positioning.
The rule will move the line back from 20 feet, 9 inches to 22-1¾, the same measurement used in international play. The 20-9 distance has been in place since 2008 in NCAA men's basketball.

SKULL SESSION: BUCKEYES' HYPOTHETICAL FINAL FOUR RUN, AN UPDATE FROM AARON CRAFT IN ITALY, AND WINTER/SPRING ATHLETES COULD GET MORE ELIGIBILITY
MORE ELIGIBILITY? A few thousand college athletes who were in their final years of eligibility are now in a state of imbo wondering if their college playing careers are suddenly over.
All I can tell you is that it looks like the NCAA is going to ponder it for a bit and then let us know.
Giving an entire extra season of eligibility to a basketball player or wrestler because the postseason was canceled seems a little unrealistic, but athletes like rowers, lacrosse players, softball players and baseball players should absolutely get an extra season of eligibility.
Now, even though I do think that's the correct answer, I can't honestly say I have a good plan of how they should go about doing it. You'd probably need extra scholarships and more roster space, but I'm sure someone smarter than me is going to figure it out.
It seems insane to just give athletes a blanket extra season of eligibility, but unprecedented times call for unprecedented reactions.

Multiple coaches considering granting senior players an extra season of eligibility
Per CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander, there are two coaches who have plans to propose to their conferences and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) a one-time exemption to allow seniors to return for another season of eligibility if they choose to due to the drastic circumstances that led to the cancellation of the NCAA tournaments.
Although the coaches remain anonymous in Norlander’s report, one coach may be Oklahoma State University’s Mike Boynton, who at least appears to support the idea of granting senior players an extra season of eligibility on their athletic scholarships.
Boynton told basketball insider Jeff Goodman that “if they want, [seniors] should have another year. Special permission on scholarship numbers for an unprecedented circumstance. Next year only.”
Though the sentiment should be understood, there will be underlying dynamics at play in the situation. Not only will there be the issue of how incoming recruits, particularly the top high school prospects, will react to what could likely be fewer minutes and a diminished role by playing with seniors.
Further, recruits may choose to commit to other schools if particular seniors return so that they could have more opportunity.

Should Grant Extra Year of Eligibility to Athletes Losing Seasons
In a rare display of foresight and doing what is right, the NCAA on Thursday scrapped the entirety of its remaining winter and spring sports championships.
The most immediate, obvious, and self-interested consequences of the unprecedented decision are that we won’t be filling out brackets, hammering parlays, and gathering at bars and friends’ houses to consume the unrivaled madness typically associated with the month of March.
This is a difficult to decision to digest, indeed, but it’s also the right one. Sports leagues around the globe have shuttered this week as a protective measure for societies that lack the information needed to make educated decisions about how to best curb the spread of COVID-19.
But as we adjust to life without sports, including the absence of what is arguably America’s greatest sporting event, we must also be cognizant of the unjust consequences produced by what was an ethically and morally correct decision. Student-athletes across the country this morning are dealing with the harsh reality that their athletic careers are over—or are very likely about to be over.
Much of the focus will be on players who won’t get an opportunity to participate in the Men’s and Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament. Beyond the social and entertainment void created by the cancellation, several student-athletes will be denied an opportunity to cement legacies and capture the imaginations of millions.
There will be no Cinderella stories this year, no buzzer-beaters, no epic comebacks. As a result, these athletes will miss out on an amazing experience, while fewer will miss an opportunity improve draft stocks and/or become household names.
It’s a damn shame, but this injustice extends beyond winter athletes. Far beyond.
As the NCAA kills spring sports championships and several of its conferences across various levels cancel entire schedules, many spring sport athletes will be denied the opportunity to play the vast majority of their seasons. They, too, will miss chances to make impressions on scouts. They, too, will miss the bus rides and camaraderie with teammates and coaches that build lasting memories. They, too, will miss the opportunity to see the results of their hard work.
That just doesn’t seem right, and it’s an especially cruel reality for senior athletes in the final year of their eligibility.
Whether we are talking about high-end D1 programs or lesser-known D2 or D3 programs, there are thousands of athletes who are currently coming to grips with the fact that their grind—the 5 a.m. runs, team lifting sessions, and countless hours spent refining their skills could be for nothing.

Coronavirus ended their careers. Now college athletes are fighting to get them back
The edict that Allison Wahrman had been dreading arrived Thursday afternoon while she was lifting weights.
For the younger Hawkeyes, training for months with no payoff was devastating. For seniors like Wahrman whose college careers ended abruptly and without closure, it was something more.
“It was heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking,” she told Yahoo Sports. “I only started throwing two years ago, and I was just starting to develop into an elite athlete. I still haven’t processed yet that I may have competed in my last meet.”
Primarily a triple jumper when she arrived at Iowa, Wahrman underwent ankle surgery after her freshman season and struggled as a sophomore. She picked up the hammer throw as a junior at the urging of her coaches, worked tirelessly to improve her technique, and discovered she had a talent and passion for it.
Over the next 48 hours, the virus wreaked havoc on her life, halting classes, then practice, and finally ending her senior season two or three months prematurely. She was feeling downcast and defeated until another text message arrived from her coach, this one encouraging her not to accept that her throwing days were behind her.

It isn't set in stone that this year has to count against your eligibility.

Fuck those rules. All they've done is drag out the final 2 minutes even longer than the foul-o-rama (which is bad enough). If they aren't needed the other 36/38 minutes then they aren't that important. Get rid of them.

NCAA WILL GIVE SPRING SPORTS ATHLETES ANOTHER YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY, STILL CONSIDERING WHETHER TO DO SO FOR WINTER SPORTS ATHLETES
After their seasons all came to an abrupt end on Thursday, spring sports athletes are in line to receive another year of eligibility from the NCAA.
The NCAA announced Friday that it has “agreed that eligibility relief is appropriate for all Division I student-athletes who participated in spring sports.”
The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach and Stadium's Jeff Goodman both reported on Friday that the NCAA's Division I Council Coordinator Committee is still considering whether to do the same for winter sports athletes whose seasons also ended early on Thursday, when the NCAA announced it was canceling all of its championship competitions for the remainder of the academic year.
Athletes in spring sports – which include baseball and softball, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, rowing, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, track and field and men’s volleyball at Ohio State – did not even get the opportunity to play a full regular season after Thursday's announcements by the NCAA and by the Big Ten which announced that all competitions for conference schools would be canceled for the remainder of the academic year.
For winter sports athletes, that decision could be more complicated, as some had already concluded their seasons before Thursday while most – including men's and women's basketball, men's and women's hockey and wrestling – had completed their regular seasons, though their postseasons were cut short.
