A 30-second shot clock may be coming to men’s college basketball next season.

The NCAA rules committee announced on Friday a number of proposed rule changes intended to speed up the pace of play and improve the flow of the game following a regular season where the sport drew criticism for low scoring.

Chief among the proposals is reducing the 35-second shot clock, which has been in place in Division I since the 1993-94 season. Installing a 30-second shot clock may mean that teams get more possessions per game, and thus, see more scoring chances.

Prior to 1993, there had been a 45-second shot clock.

Timeout changes are also being considered. The number of timeouts could be reduced from five to four, with no more than three allowed to carry over to the second half. Team timeouts called within 30 seconds before a previously scheduled media timeout will count as a media timeout. The exception to this is the first media timeout of the second half.

Other proposals include: strict enforcement of defensive rules, providing offensive players the same verticality protections as defensive players and moving the restricted-area arc in front of the basket from three feet to four feet, which is the NBA standard.

The next step is for the proposals to be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight panel, which meets in June.
