NCAA Tweaks Season Format: The NCAA Management Council approved a measure that allows teams to compete in one regular-season tournament per year, rather than limiting them to two such tournaments in four seasons, as the rule previously stated. The council also indicated that it’d like to exempt conference tournaments, which count as one game on teams’ schedules. Based on the changes, teams could schedule 27 games and a preseason tournament appearance or 29 regular-season games. The regular season also would start one week earlier in November if the council gets its wish. [4/13/06]
