Proposed college basketball rules changes fine by Florida's Michael White

College basketball's gonna be a little more fun to watch in the future, and Mike White agrees that it's about damn time.

You may want to sit down: College basketball’s higher-ups did something for the good of the game Friday.

The sport has become nigh-unwatchable to some casual fans over the last few years due to more than a few issues, but the rules committee has proposed a few changes: A 30-second shot clock, an extension of the restricted area under the basket, and a reduction in the number of timeouts available to coaches. The hope is that they will increase the pace of play and the watchability of the game.
