The NCAA's women's basketball oversight committee and men's basketball oversight committee jointly agreed on Tuesday to propose Nov. 25 as the start date for the 2020-21 college basketball season, sources told CBS Sports.

Nov. 25 is the day before Thanksgiving.

"It was a hard proposal and they all left [the call] saying the 25th was the date they're going to take," one source said.

With many campus's emptying after Thanksgiving & if they decide to start Spring semester in late January, they can get 2 months of games in with less of a chance of infection from campus parties.
