If it were proposed to change CBB to four 12-minute quarters...

Upvote if you would approve; downvote if not.

Other than the occasional final minute when a team has a bunch of time-outs to burn and then burns them, which is rare, I don't recall ever thinking a college basketball game ever dragged arse. I wouldn't mind more basketball.

The only records that are all that sacred are Maravich's total & average and probably Robertson's triple-double average, neither of which I think is anywhere close to being threatened.

No thanks. The college product is bad enough right now so we don't need to add an extra 8 minutes to it. The only thing they need to be doing is lowering the shot clock.

4 10 minute quarters would be fine. Nothing worse than watching teams in the bonus for 10+ minutes.

The women's game smartly adapted it.

They need to get rid of defensive 3 seconds so badly. Nothing worse than these teams just parking some big guy under the rim for entire possessions.

Shot clock is at :30 right now. You can't possibly think that's too much, can you?

4 ten minute quarters is the way to go and I think it will happen in the next few years

Likely. I wonder how they'll distribute the media breaks? As it is a media timeout at the first dead ball after every 4th minute mark; a quarter is a media timeout Arkansas the 10minute mark.
