The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel has approved a proposal moving the three-point line to the international distance in men's basketball, the panel announced on Wednesday.
The new distance will be 22' 1 3/4" and will go into effect in the 2019-20 season for Division I programs. The current three-point line distance is 20'9".
The change will not go into effect until the 2020-21 season in Divisions II and III due to the financial impact of moving the lines on courts.
The line change comes after the international three-point distance was used experimentally in the 2018 and 2019 National Invitation Tournament.
