Despite NCAA.com listing, NIT Season Tip-Off not scheduled for Barclays Center next month

I'm not sure that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Barclays Center are truly in sync. According to a 10/13/20 article on NCAA.com, 2020 men's college basketball calendar: Schedule, first games, NCAA tournament dates:
Nov. 25, 2020 — The season begins
On Sept. 16, the NCAA Division I Council approved Nov. 25 as the start date for the first men's basketball games of the season. The original start date for the first games of the season was Nov. 10. The NIT Season Tip-Off will start on Nov. 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
However, large gatherings are not yet permitted in New York City, and that NIT Season Tip-Off is not listed on the Barclays Center calendar, excerpted at right. (It is listed on the ESPN web site.)

In fact, the only November dates on the Barclays Center calendar are November 23-24, and those events aren't happening:
RELOCATED: LEGENDS CLASSIC
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Legends Classic Presented by Old Trapper will be relocated to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. For fans who have already purchased tickets to the Legends Classic Championship Rounds at Barclays Center, tickets will be refunded automatically.
