I'm not opposed to it as long as they don't increase the number of allotted timeouts. Six to one, half dozen to another.

I'm sure they'd start with 16-min halves. States that wanted to try (or continue with) 18 would probably do so at the expense of conceding their periodic opportunity for a regional seat on the rules committee (the same way the shot clock states concede such a seat).
