re: College Basketball is ruined for me

To be fair, they're trying to transition to more NBA-like contact rules. In the past few seasons, the general consensus was that a big reason offense was down was because there was too much leeway in allowing defenders to use their hands on offensive players. This year there is an emphasis to put a stop to that with the idea to allow offensive players to move more freely, like they're allowed to do in the NBA. There's going to be a transition period as players have to learn (and coaches have to teach) to play defense without putting your hands on players. In the long run, it'll be great for the game. And not every game has been this bad at all. Stanford and BYU both went over 100 last night, and I am very confident in saying this is the first game that saw 34 fouls in the first half.
