The NCAA will make a decision by mid-September on whether to delay the start of the college basketball season.

The season is currently scheduled to start on November 10th, with practices beginning 42 days before a team's opener.

The NCAA is prepared to delay the start of the season if necessary.

"By mid-September, we will provide direction about whether the season and practice start on time or a short-term delay is necessitated by the ongoing pandemic," said senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt.

The Pac-12 announced last week that all college basketball will be delayed until at least January 1st.
