Basketball is currently slated to begin on December 1, but the conference may decide to push back the start until the new year. They are looking at either allowing non-conference games in December and starting conference play in January, or delaying all competition until January.
The GNAC needs to allow their members to begin at least non-conference play in December. There are plenty of local NAIA and DIII programs to play, whether or not they are able to play other DII teams in the PacWest and CCAA. We also now have plenty of access to COVID testing. If the border is still not open by the new year, Simon Fraser should consider instead playing only non-conference games against their other fellow Canadian universities and the GNAC should proceed without SFU.
