    Get rid of some timeouts. Holy baby Jesus, with more than 5 minutes left in a game make it so you can't have 3 timeouts within a minute.... Christ almighty

    It's all about the ad dollars. Whether it is interesting or not is completely secondary unless/until people stop watching.

      Get rid of conferences.

      I'm tired of seeing teams like Kentucky get overrated by going 14-0 in the SEC. Guess what? The SEC isn't good. There is no competition in the SEC.

      Kentucky: 0-1 in the Big 10, 14-0 in the SEC.

      I'd love to see Kentucky go through an 18 game Big 10 schedule. They'd be 14-4 at the end of it probably, but at least it would prepare them for March Madness a lot better.

      This is obviously unrealistic but it would make things more exciting to see non conference games across the board with teams filling in spots however they need to.

        For real, the other night during one of the games even the announcers were laughing about how one of the teams burned a timeout with like 4 min left in the game and they were due for a tv timeout in 10 more seconds anyways!

              Teams can't just wait for a TV timeout... what if there is no stoppage of play for 5 straight minutes?

                  The timing issues annoy me...near the end of every game. Thought the refs had a wireless clock button...? Either that or the people running the clock aren't paying attention.

                    College needs to go to 6 fouls. I hate seeing the stars sitting on the dam bench half of the game. Refs control too many games with questionable calls that hamper the stars.

                      i agree the timeouts suck. would like it to be done more like the nba which has a better flow. also maybe 30 second shot clock, wayyyyyyyy too much fouling at the end

                        The TV timeouts are all scheduled timeouts and everyone knows when they are coming...

                        Come'on man...

                          Truth.

                          There are a possible 28 timeouts in a 40 minute college basketball game (4 media per half, 5 per team per half).

                          If your kids can't average a minute and a half without a timeout, you need to learn to coach better or get some smarter kids.

                            The 4 minutes for timeouts thing absolutely sucks. If it was every 5 minutes it would be tolerable.

                            As bad as the timeouts are though what's even worse is these dumbfukk coaches don't know when to say uncle. Teams will be down 8 points with 20 seconds left and they're still fouling.

                              Nba is infinitely worse. Last two minutes of an nba game take 30 minutes.
