Rick Pitino calls on NCAA to save the season by moving start back, having May Madness

Rick Pitino is calling on the NCAA to move the start of college basketball back to save the upcoming season.

Pitino suggests cutting out non-conference games and focusing on an NCAA Tournament in May.

Save the Season. Move the start back. Play league schedule and have May Madness. Spiking and protocols make it impossible to play right now.

Pitino’s Iona team is one of the 20 plus Division I teams that are currently shut down due to COVID’-19.
