College 3-point line moving back a foot

[Mike]

The college three point line will move back 1 foot in 2008. I can only guess that this will better prepare college players for the NBA. IT will likely bring the scoring down a bit, or make teams change their tactics (less 3 point shots).

The men's basketball rules committee approved a measure Thursday that would move the 3-point line back one foot in 2008 — from 19 feet, 9 inches to 20 feet, 9 inches. If approved by the playing rules oversight committee on May 25, it would mark the first major alteration to the 3-point shot since its adoption in 1986-87.
