College Basketball Madness Podcast: New season, new rules

College basketball season tips off Friday, and this is one season when you don't want to be unprepared.

Why? Because the NCAA men's basketball rules committee is introducing more than 30 new rules this season. Dunking pregame and halftime warmups? Go for it. Faking a foul or taking a dive, don't even think about it.

Belmont University coach and rules committee member Rick Byrd talks with Paste BN Sports national college basketball reporter Nicole Auerbach about the reasons for the changes and what fans should look for and expect. Plus, Nicole and I talk about her recent profile of Duke sophomore Grayson Allen, and she also shares her Final Four picks.
