The NCAA's Southern Conference became the first collegiate conference to use the three-point rule, adopting a 22-foot line in 1980. Over the following five years, NCAA conferences differed in their use of the rule and the distance they required for a three-point shot. The NCAA adopted the 19-foot, 9-inch line nationally in 1986. On May 3, 2007 the NCAA rules committee decided to lengthen the three point line to 20 feet 9 inches. This rule will come into effect at the beginning of the 2008-09 season. J.J. Redick currently holds the NCAA Division I record with 457 three-point field goals while shooting 40.4% from three-point range for his career.
For the 2007 season, the NBA three point line is 4 feet longer from the goal than the NCAA three point line at the top of the key (23 feet, 9 inches for the NBA to 19 feet 9 inches for the NCAA). However, starting in the 2008 season, the NCAA's three point line will be lengthened to 20 feet 9 inches at the top of the key.
The back of the NCAA three point line is 20 feet 9 inches from the center of the goal as measured horizontally.
