Please explain the relationship between money (for the NCAA or for the television networks) and quarters/halves. When a switch is made from halves to quarters (or from quarters to halves as was done by private prep schools here in Connecticut) aren't adjustments normally made to the number (and possibly spacing) of timeouts (media and otherwise) to account for two fewer intermissions when switching from halves to quarters?

If adjustments are made to the number and spacing of timeouts how would this adversely impact the number of commercial breaks?
