Quote:The NCAA's women's basketball oversight committee and men's basketball oversight committee jointly agreed on Tuesday to propose Nov. 25 as the start date for the 2020-21 college basketball season, sources told CBS Sports.

Nov. 25 is the day before Thanksgiving.

"It was a hard proposal and they all left [the call] saying the 25th was the date they're going to take," one source said.

The proposal will eventually be sent to the Division I Council, which is scheduled to meet on Sept. 16.

This is just plan ignorant! What in the hell is 2 weeks going to make a difference other than to cause a complete nightmare in games already scheduled. Why cant the NCAA just leave it alone and let them play. I am not making light of the COVID-19 situation, but how is delaying the season 2 weeks going to save all of the players and coaches from COVID?

Ditto

Considering today's news that the states have been advised to be prepared for widespread vaccine distribution beginning no later than November 1st, this thinking may change.

There are also reports beginning to trickle out that the Big Ten may vote to reverse course on football tomorrow.

Well if you have a crystal ball then share what you see the future is going to be with us. I can only tell you what the current stated plan is. Things have changed across the country day to day, week to week, and month to month.
