This offseason the NCAA rules committee made some major changes to the college basketball rulebook that could have a big impact on the future of the sport. The biggest rule change is changing the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30 seconds. However, there is some doubt that this rule change might not be good for the overall game. On the contrary, many pundits and analysts believe that this rule change and others are a big first step in the improvement of the game and the watch-ability of it.
Other additional rule changes include expanding the restricted area under the baskets and cutting the number of timeouts from five to four.
