The NCAA released a statement Monday and told fans, “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.”

If college basketball gets delayed or canceled, you’re going to see fans rioting in the street. That much I can guarantee you.
So far in 2020, we’ve lost March Madness and many different college football games. At this point, college basketball is one of the few things we have left to look forward to.

Given the fact that we didn’t get March Madness last season, the last thing fans want is to have to see our season get destroyed again.
I think I speak for most college basketball fans when I say a short delay would be fine. We might complain, but we’d stomach it.
However, if college basketball gets hammered by coronavirus like some football conferences have, then you’re going to see people lose their damn minds. That much I can promise you.

Let’s hope that the NCAA gets a plan put together and this doesn’t become an issue. The last thing we need is for college basketball to also get screwed up again.
