It allows up to 2 more games for fans to watch/attend. It allows conferences with 11 or 12 members to have double round robin schedules (20 or 22 games). It doesn't have a huge effect on academics as it would not be cramming more games in the same time frame, just adding a week and 2 games on the front end.

So, what do you think?

They used to start the season two weeks earlier than now but NCAA felt the season is too long for basketball players who should be in class more. So NCAA cut the basketball shorter by two weeks.

One thing I wish the NCAA would stop doing is playing games in domes. UH had a great coach who championed that concept but college basketball, especially NCAA Tournament games, belongs in real basketball places like at Pauley Pavilion, The Palestra and Hinkle Fieldhouse, let alone a place like Madison Square Garden. Playing games at Lucas Oil and the Alamodome is a joke. Playing the occasional FF or even alternating is one thing but every year?
