College basketball will start 3 days earlier next season
The NCAA is hoping to get more prime college basketball games scheduled by moving opening night up 3 days so that it takes place mid-week instead of on a weekend during college football season.

From Awful Announcing

I don't really know what this is supposed to do. I suppose there will be a few more prime match-ups with good exposure during that first week. At least, the NCAA is hoping schools will schedule that way. Outside of that though? I don't see how this is supposed to fundamentally address college basketball's problems.

Not sure this really moves the needle much at all for SEC schools except maybe Kentucky. If anything, I would argue they need to move the schedule back a week. Outside of a handful of school basketball is going to be second fiddle until December and really January.
