My understanding is that the Big East gave up the experiment because players were, surprise, commiting more fouls.

On Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio this morning, Steven A. Smith wholly supported Dickie V's idea. He rationale ... of course ... the horrid nature of officiating both in the college and pro ranks the "last several years." It made me sick just listening to it.

Steven A. Smith is an idiot. I've never liked him. I cringe when he's on ESPN The Reporters.

I also remember that there was some concern about Big East players having to adjust to five fouls during the NCAA tournament.
