The NCAA Board of Governors met Tuesday with “NCAA fall sports championships” as item 4c on its agenda.
The Board of Governors was expected to decide whether the NCAA would sponsor championship tournaments in fall sports, cancel fall sports because of the COVID-19 pandemic or offer other options.
NCAA president Mark Emmert issued a statement Tuesday evening, indicating an announcement would be made Wednesday.
“The Board of Governors and I today continued our discussion about the NCAA’s ability to proceed with our 22 fall championships in light of the COVID-19 trend lines,” Emmert said.
“In order to ensure the health and well-being of college athletes, we have to consider all the implications when determining our next steps, and we plan to provide an update to our membership and the public tomorrow.
