he wants college basketball to take over August.

Cal first brought up the idea for a preseason practice period last year, and mentioned it again today during an appearance on The Dan Dakich Show. Like the overseas trips teams are allowed to take every four years, the practice period would last ten days, which would include seven practices and exhibition games vs. other teams and/or European pro teams, which would be televised to promote the sport.

Why doesn’t college basketball take over August? Right now, the NBA has taken over July.
