I like the idea of the 30 second shot clock. That way these teams that like to play stall ball on offense have less time. Heck I might not even mind the 24 second shot clock like the NBA has.

There's absolutely no excuse not to use a 30 second shot clock as a maximum. Women's college basketball, which moves vastly slower than the men's game, uses a 30 second clock. So why do the men use 35 seconds?

It's never made sense to me. This is a necessary step.

If the ACC does it and no one else does it's going to make those NCAA slow em down rockfights / dive ins that much worse.

Yeah I will hear people against it saying "teams can't get a good shot in 35, what is 30 gonna do?" If the women can handle it in 30 seconds, pretty sure the men can.

I'm pretty sure most teams could get good shots with a 15 second shot clock. They aren't coached to do that though.

ACC Basketball to Test 30-Second Shot Clock in Exhibition Games

Totally agree with the idea; nearly all teams just spend time with the PG dribbling the ball at the top of the key, burning time.

I'm totally fine with a 20-30 second shot clock just because, if you're playing a pressing team, it will probably take you 8-10 seconds to get the ball up the floor if they're good at that defense. That would still leave you with about 15-20 seconds to get a shot. That's plenty of time to run an offensive set.
