Any thoughts about the idea of starting the basketball

season in January with a schedule of only conference games? I had some conversations with friends about this last week and then saw Rick Pitino tweeting positively about the idea yesterday.

ND announced yesterday that all performing arts events for the fall semester have been canceled. This is not a good sign for any indoor events on campus.

ND has not yet released fall schedules for cross country, soccer, or volleyball. These schedules are usually released during June. If volleyball doesn't have a season, then I believe that basketball is headed for a January start at best.

The Ivy League will soon announce its plans for fall sports. My guess is that they will not allow any fall athletic competition and that this will influence other colleges and the NCAA.

For now, college football is a go and the coronavirus is its major opponent. There is a lot riding for intercollegiate athletics on who wins this contest.
