Florida extends Golden, 6/40.5M. I'd extend too if you threw that much cash at me.

The University of New Haven is moving from D2 to D1 and joining the Northeast Conference in 2025-26, this is essentially the St. Francis PA replacement even if SF is still playing for one more year

The NCAA is kicking the tires on men's basketball going from halves to 10 minute quarters.  Possibly as soon as next season.

I hate it and I don't have any reason why.

I've never understood why men's college basketball didn't have quarters. High school basketball (at least here, and I believe in most if not all states) have quarters. Women's college basketball has quarters. The NBA has quarters. FIBA has quarters. 

I'm fully in favor of it.

The most "popular" theory is that the NCAA believes that playing halves instead of quarters lead to closer games

It also means a quicker game because there are less media timeouts

The second point is actually the reason they probably want to make the switch to quarters as they are probably getting pressure from the networks to allow for more dead time which equates to more $$$
