No more 1-and-1s, bonus+ only occurs after 4 team fowls in each 10-minute "quarter":

• Each team is limited to a team total of four personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls) during each 10-minute segment of each half.
• The first 10-minute segment of each half will begin when the ball becomes live to begin the half and will end when the game clock reads 10:00. The second segment will begin when the game clock reads 9:59 and ends when the half ends.
• When a team has reached the four-foul limitation, all subsequent personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls) will be penalized by two free throw attempts.
• Each team’s foul total will reset to zero when any 10-minute segment has ended.
• The rules regarding penalties for fouls in the act of shooting, flagrant fouls or technical fouls will not be affected by this experimental rule and will always result in two free throws unless the rules specifically say otherwise.
• In any overtime period, when a team has reached a total of three personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls), all subsequent personal and technical fouls will be penalized by two free throw attempts.

Also, a 20 second shot clock:

In the other experimental rule, the shot clock will remain the same as when play was interrupted or reset to 20 seconds, whichever is greater, at any time any of the following occurs:

• A personal foul by the defense, which results in no free throws, and the ball is inbounded in the front court.
• Any technical foul assessed against the defense, and the ball is inbounded in the front court.
• The game is stopped for a bleeding player or blood on a uniform and the ball is inbounded in the front court.

So there will still be 20 minute halves but the rules are broken up into quarters? Dumb.
 
In regards to free chicken, this shouldn't be much of an issue. 1 and 1s did not allow for chicken, because a player couldn't miss both free throws.

Yup. Unnecessary incrementalism from the NCAA! Quarters would be so much better.

I wonder if a foul occurs and the clock stops with 9:59 if they will be able to review and see if it occurred at 10:00 or 9:59. I would assume yes.

This experimental counting method makes is slightly more likely that teams will be shooting (and have the possibility of missing) two fouls in the last few minutes of each half - the free chicken rule will be in effect.
 
Former NIT champions are exempted from these new rules.
 
Does the 2 consecutive missed free throws by the opponent have to be during the same trip to the foul line or does it count if the other team misses the second free throw on one trip and they miss the first free throw on the next trip to the line. At the Ga. Tech game I thought they PA guy said the "same" trip, but at the State game he didn't say that.

It has to be the same trip to the line.
 
Nutty complex rules for no reason. Just go to quarters.

Not sure why it goes quarters (HS) - halves - quarters (NBA) anyways.

The opponents are more likely to commit 10 fowls in the first 12 minutes of the second half (to get to the 8:00 mark) than they are to commit 4 fowls in the first 2 minutes of the 4th "quarter." But don't let the FACTS get in the way

LONG LIVE CHICKEN
