From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Big Eight Conference first considered adopting a 30-second shot clock prior to the 1972–73 season.[1] There was some indication also that other lengths may have be considered.[2] Conference stakeholders in May 1972 unanimously approved a 30-second shot clock to be used in the conference pre-season tournament, regular season conference games, and home non-conference games subject to the visiting school's consent[3]. In spite of the unanimous vote, some coaches expressed regret for voting for the rule change.[4] Nevertheless, reception was generally positive [5] and stakeholders in May 1973 again voted unanimously to approve the rule for a second season.[6]. The Southwest Conference also voted to implement the 30-second clock for the 1973–74 season.[7]

However, enthusiasm waned and in 1974, Big Eight rule was modified to start the clock when the ball crossed the division line[8], while the Southwest Conference narrowly chose not to renew the rule.[9]
