We’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out what exactly is going to end up happening with college football this fall and even though we’re within a month of when things were supposed to kickoff, it’s looking less and less like that will be going down Labor Day weekend.
So why don’t we take a shot and try and predict what the future holds for the 2020-21 college basketball season?
Alright, I’ll pass and leave it to one of college basketball’s longest tenured head coaches, Notre Dame’s Mike Brey.
Brey held his annual Coaches vs. Cancer Golf Outing on Tuesday and after admitting college sports are hanging by a threat, Brey shared his thoughts on college basketball’s eventual return.
Mike Brey made a bold prediction for college hoops this coming season.

“I think college basketball, and mark my words, we’re going to come back all the way around and be the savior of college athletics””
“It may not be til February and it might be ‘May Madness’ instead of March Madness. Everything is on the table but I think we’re going to play”
Brey then re-affirmed, “It could be later but we’re going to play”.
As I’ve thought since sports were first postponed back in March, we can’t predict what’s going to happen a week from now, let alone in the spring. I’m more than happy to root for Brey’s thought to be right though, although he certainly seemed to think college football won’t be played this fall if college basketball will be the sport to be the savior of college athletics.
