NCAA Basketball: Competition committee proposes rule changes

This past college basketball season drew the ire of fans and commentators alike about its style of play. While this conversation has been trending for a few years, it appears to have reached a tipping point with the NCAA competition committee.

College basketball was definitely tough to watch at times, as constant timeouts, teams dragging out the 35-second shot clock, stale offensive strategies, and constant breaks in play made the game less entertaining to watch. Recently the NCAA made strides to begin chipping away at these issues.

As reported by Nicole Auerbach of USA TODAY, the NCAA is proposing a change to the shot clock from 35 to 30 seconds.
