College basketball would become 10x better if they just did this:

Increase player fouls from 5 to 6. So tired of watching stars pick up 2 fouls in the first half and have to sit, or a guy pick up his third foul early in the second half. Nobody wants to watch good players sit with fouls.

Decrease shot clock to 25-30 second range

Widen the lane and move the three-point line back.

Allow teams to advance the ball in the final 5 minutes to the front court. It would make the sport so much more exciting. In NBA, all you need is 0.5 seconds and a timeout to have a chance. In college, you are screwed if you have under 4 seconds and have to go the length of the court.
