While the Big Ten Conference's return to college football ruled the early part of Wednesday's news cycle, college basketball made an early evening splash of its own, announcing that the NCAA Division I Council has approved a start date for the upcoming season, according to numerous reports.
Originally slated to start Nov. 10, college basketball's season will now begin Nov. 25 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The adjusted start means the season will begin when most college campuses are empty for winter break and will give teams a chance to get rolling in a more controlled environment.
