The Division 1 Council will vote on Wednesday to officially approve the NCAA's request to allow eight hours of on-court basketball work per week instead of four, likely starting at some point in September.

This would give programs a pseudo "training camp" prior to the first day of official practice, which will be six weeks prior to college basketball's start date.

Could be massive for programs with large numbers of newcomers who didn't have offseason workout time due to COVID-19.
