Sources: Orlando to host EIGHT early season college basketball events September 15, 2020 by Jon Rothstein The Champions Classic is going to Disney World! Following the success of the NBA Bubble, Orlando will host eight early season events in college basketball during the first few weeks of the regular season, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. In addition to the Champions Classic, the Jimmy V Classic, Preseason NIT, Orlando Invitational, Myrtle Beach Invitational, Charleston Classic, Wooden Legacy, and Diamond Head Classic will all be played in Orlando. No fans are currently expected to be in attendance for any of the events, according to a source. Additional games may also be added at a later date in an effort to give the programs in Orlando opportunities to expand their respective non-conference inventory. Official dates and times will not be determined until the NCAA officially announces a start date for the 20-21 college basketball season on Wednesday.
