NBA - faster, better quality, better players

I enjoy March Madness... I think the NBA playoffs are better - and it's over a longer period of time.

I respect everyone's opinions. Personally I like the NBA more than the NCAA, but that used to be vise-versa when I was a kid. As a kid, I always got excited about March Madness. Nowadays, it's the NBA playoffs that I really enjoy watching. 2015 has been my favorite so far as my team, the Warriors, won the title this past season.

I have a feeling the new rules in college this year will make it a watered down version with a lesser talent level then the NBA. I may not end up watching much college at all this year I'll see how the first week goes.

I prefer the NBA. It's easier and much more enjoyable to watch a game with a shot clock, and the level of play is so much more elevated.

NBA here. I'm a die-hard Sacramento Kings fan. As many of you know we've been out of the playoffs for almost 10 seasons on a league which 16 teams go to the playoffs. After all of that mediocrity I still follow my team and the NBA. In regards to the NCAA, I'll tune-in in March.

-Cheers.

NBA over NCAA, but basketball is like pizza for me. I rarely find bad pizza - so I'll watch an NCAA game if it's on - but I prefer NBA games.

The big ones:

1) Shot clock reduced from 35 to 30 seconds. This I actually do agree with.
2) Not valid for the regular season, only in the NCAA tournament and I think the NIT, the NCAA is going to experiment and have a foul out at 6 fouls instead of the usual 5 in college. This rule is going to be awful. The college game is already longer then the NBA anyways (since they have a shorter shot clock, and advance the ball on timeouts, the NBA has more possessions late in games) and if you give every player 6 fouls, that's 12 extra fouls a team can use at the end of the game, and will just drag the game out for an eternity.
There's some other ones that someone posted earlier in the summer, I'll try to find them.

I thought it was the summer, guess it was May: New college basketball rules for 2015-16 Season
