One thing which is important to note (which is why I think no other conferences have copied NESCAC yet) is that the NESCAC schools are, after an extended winter break, returning students to campus either in late January or early February... https://twitter.com/nescac/status/1314242030562955265

and when you consider the need to give some time on campus for training and practice before playing games, that would leave somewhere in the vicinity of a 6-game season.

Another thing important to note is that while some...

...have canceled winter outright (Amherst, Hamilton, Williams, and Middlebury, to name a few), some have either explicitly said that they haven’t made decision if they’ll be playing winter sports (and have noted that...

...the statement is for NESCAC regular season and championships play, and allows for teams to schedule games on their own [and therefore qualify for a #d3hoops Pool C/at-large Bid]), or have not said anything at all (like Tufts).

Lastly...

... @BowdoinCollege FAQs right now say that even Spring sports are uncertain, perhaps unlikely. They aren’t helped by strict Maine state laws. I don’t think YU will be helped by NY laws, but just keep in mind how different things are in various areas of the USA.
