On August 5, 2020, the NCAA Board of Governors kicked a can to a different street. They elected to not make any widespread decisions about fall sports in light of the ongoing five month long coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Instead, the BOG told each of the three divisions to make their own decisions on their own fall sports. Within hours, Division 2 and Division 3 shut everything down, but it’s been four-plus days now and Division 1 hasn’t done squat.
Obviously, the big reason here is that Division 1 includes the Power 5 college football conferences, and there’s a whole hell of a lot of money at stake if fall sports go out the door.
