Change in Rules for College Basketball Scheduling

I think this means a change in the format for tournaments providing participants with four games.

The Gotham Classic, which Syracuse is scheduled to play in next season, is one of those tournaments. I think there is little net effect for Syracuse. Just one home game that would have been part of the Gotham Classic will just be a normal home game.

The NCAA is giving teams new scheduling options for the 2020-21 season.

The NCAA's Division I Council approved Friday a proposal to give men's basketball programs choices with 28- and 29-game schedules.

The council vote still must be reviewed by the NCAA board of directors and won't be considered final until the conclusion of its board meeting on Wednesday.

The proposal will allow schools that schedule 28 regular-season game to participate in one multiple-team event of up to three games. Programs with 29-game regular-season schedules can participate in a multiple-team event with up to two games.

A team that does not participate in a multiple-team event can have up to 29 regular-season games.

Three-day multiple-team events must be completed within 10 days, and two-day events must conclude within five days, under the proposal.

MTE's are either 3 or 4 game events. It's being changed to 2 or 3 game events for next season.
