Basketball is winter.

Basketball is winter.

And spring

Basketball is winter.

I've seen a lot of people group basketball in with the fall sports concerning covid.

Question for legal experts in the thread. Can subscribers of the conference network channels file a class action lawsuit and demand refunds? Football is the reason 90% of those subscribers pay for it to begin with.

You can't cancel your TV subscription?

generally speaking conference networks are included in entry level cable packages in areas with a state school who is part of said conference. When I lived in Wisconsin and had cable the Big10 network was like a main sports channel with the local telecom company. You typically have to pay a fee to cancel your contract. At any rate I think they have an argument.

I think it's all about wording. The Big East cancelled fall sports, which doesn't apply to basketball. The Pac 12 cancelled sports through 2020, which does

Bingo. Have to pay attention to details people.

Be prepared for more bad news. This probably won't be the last of it.

Yes and there's nothing about canceling basketball for the Pac-12 or any other conference.

Easy solution that is b-ball season starting in January

Not correct. The Pac 12 has cancelled ALL sports through the end of 2020. That definitely includes basketball through the end of the year.

Postponed, they have said nothing about canceling basketball.

Nah I've seen it worded "Fall sports and Basketball" enough times when talking through hypotheticals. It's fine though, my mistake.

Really? So you think they are gonna play these games when? We'll have April madness? Give me a break. Any games "postponed" in 2020 are not gonna be made up. You're really that much into semantics huh??

Or May Madness. Hey, why not? NHL and NBA playoffs are going on in August.

March Madness in April, or even May? Here's a plan on how to hold the NCAA Tournament in 2021

The survival of college athletics in so many respects could hinge on having a 2021 NCAA Tournament. This is how you do it.

Rob Parker is at least twice as smart as Clay Travis, the guy who was spiking the ball over Florida having “flattened the curve” in early April lmao

and yeah his take there is right on brand

I'm telling you what was said. I said they didn't cancel basketball, you told me I'm wrong.

I don't think most people are expecting the season to start in November, I think January in a bubble or the Spring.
