New Rules Proposals: Some Good, One Just Dumb

The NCAA is considering several new rules. Some of them are just tools for game management and will stand or fall on merit.

One of them is stupid and another is at least interesting.

The first is to give six fouls. The Big East tried this back in the day and it was, to be charitable, a disaster; the league was unwatchable.

The NCAA has some wrinkles though: four fouls in a half will DQ you. But if you can manage three or less in the first, you’ll get three in the second. But if you get just one in the first, then you’ll get four in the second.
