Could the 2020-21 college basketball season be played in a bubble?

While football remains at the forefront of discussion for college sports and whether or not competition can occur amidst the coronavirus pandemic, we’re now just three months away from the scheduled start of the 2020-21 college basketball season.

In a recent interview with Andy Katz, NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball Dan Gavitt stated that the college basketball season is still scheduled to begin on Nov. 10. A final ruling is expected some time in September. Conversations have started among power conferences on how the college basketball season can be salvaged.
