The NCAA is in the preliminary stages of considering four potential start dates for the 2020-21 men's and women's college basketball seasons, sources told CBS Sports. The NCAA provided a timeline document to conference commissioners late last week, obtained by CBS Sports, that details the review and approval process on starting the forthcoming season.
Option 1
First practices allowed: Sept. 29
First day of season: Nov. 10 (No change to start of season)
Option 2
First practices allowed: Oct. 9
First day of season: Nov. 20
Option 3
First practices allowed: Oct. 14
First day of season: Nov. 25
Option 4
First practices allowed: Oct. 24
First day of season: Dec. 4
A vote on the season's start date is scheduled to be made on Sept. 16 by the D-I Council. (Approval from the oversight committees for men's and women's basketball would precede the D-I Council vote.) The NCAA is also tentatively planning for an Oct. 13 and/or 14 meeting with the Division I Council to approve any necessary tweaks or changes to the schedule if enough has happened between Sept. 16 and Oct. 13 to mandate updates to college basketball's season.
