Women's college basketball plays four 10-minute quarters , compared to two 20-minute halves for men's.
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved the change in the 2015-16 season and beyond.
The change was partly made to eliminate the one -and-one free throws after seven team fouls, which are more prevalent in the men's game.
The quarter breaks serve as a "media timeout" on the women's side, but the men's side has four media timeouts a half .
In women's college basketball, there were seven total media stoppages outside of team timeouts.
The men's timeouts are spread out over four minutes of game action, usually at a stoppage of play.
