The 20-21 men's and women's college basketball seasons will begin on November 25th.
"By Thanksgiving week, the date of Nov. 25, 76% of all Division-I schools will have either finished their fall semester completely or released the general student body for in-person instruction," NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt said on the webinar.
The season was originally expected to begin on Nov. 10 with the Champions Classic involving Duke, Michigan State, Kansas and Kentucky.
Gavitt has said the NCAA is still planning for the NCAA tournament to proceed as scheduled, with 68 teams and 14 sites in March and April.
