Could just be a break from games, with most of the time “off” being time to train and practice.College hockey sort of does this with a three week December break. I like it for hockey.
For basketball the break would come right when there's a natural isolation bubble (Fall semester is over and Spring semester is yet to begin). Probably not the best idea. Plus, players and coaches are used to that time being all basketball and no school. Cupcakes or not, it would seem odd to change that focus and send players home.
Schools thinking the fall semester after Tgiving would be online to finish.
If I’m wrong then I’m wrong, but I think the idea is not to end the semester, rather just to not have students come back after going home for Tgiving break.Many schools have already altered their calendars to finish the semester at Thanksgiving. No school in December or January. Second semester begins on Feb. 1 or so.

I had not heard of any schools starting early and ending at TG. If you’re saying Notre Dame is doing that, it’s news to me, so thanks for sharing.Schools that have altered their calendars with an earlier start date are 100% ending the semester at Thanksgiving (or in Notre Dame's case before Thanksgiving). That was the sole purpose of doing it.
Schools which have not altered their calendars I suppose can still do what they wish about the time after Thanksgiving.

As far as I know, the U of MN is not starting early and won’t end the semester after Tgiving.
I would be surprised if UMN’s position isn’t the vast majority. Do you have rough numbers? Or do you mean you just know of several schools that are starting early?Notre Dame is one of many schools that have adjusted the schedule to end at Thanksgiving.
Minnesota has not.
