Pac-12 to consider starting basketball season before January?

The Pac-12 made what some considered to be a rash decision in August when it postponed all sports through January over concerns over the coronavirus. That made the Pac-12 just the second Division I conference to do so, the Ivy League being the first.

No one has joined the movement.

In fact, multiple reports surfaced Thursday that the NCAA, which will vote on the basketball season Sept. 16, is favoring a Nov. 25 or Dec. 4 start. Such a decision could cause the Pac-12 to revisit its resume date, according to Jon Wilner of the Mercury News and Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.
