The NCAA men's and women's basketball season will begin on November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, with the Division I Council voting Wednesday to push the start date back from the originally scheduled November 10.

The later date lines up with most schools having decided to send students home from Thanksgiving until January because of concerns about a coronavirus surge during that time. Having closed campuses could provide a bubble-like atmosphere for players.
