NCAA Board of Governors delay decision on fall sports championships

The NCAA board of governors yesterday avoided making any major decisions about fall sports championships, stating it would continue discussions in August — a decision that is likely to appease the FBS conference commissioners and athletic directors who voiced strong opposition to canceling championships at this point in the pandemic. Ohio Valley Conference commissioner Beth DeBauche, president of the College Commissioners Association, said 27 of the 32 Division I conferences that comprise the group also sent a letter to the NCAA’s board of governors this week asking for patience in the decision-making process.
