As I've been watching the March Madness chaos I've been thinking about how the NCAA should allow players 6 (maybe even 7) fouls before they foul out.
In the NBA, a league that is very deep (30 teams, 12 players each team=360 players) they allow 6 fouls and by having that additional foul, the game is typically decided by the playermakers (the Kobes, Lebrons, etc.) Officiating is usually better in the pros than in the college ranks, as well.
Often times in the NCAA which is not so deep (take for example the 65 teams in the tourney with say 13 players=845 players) the game is decided not by the big 2 or 3 on the court, because of foul trouble, but sometimes by those that are average or ordinary players. Also as mentioned earlier, officiating isn't as strong as in the pros. Therefore, by allowing one or two more fouls before disqualification, that will leave the playmakers on the floor, making up for a bad call or two.
Just one area the NCAA may look to improve college baskketball.

Another option would be to hire trained monkeys to officiate instead of just your avarage run of the mill monkeys.
