Terrible news according to various reports including the Athletic:

NCAA Board of Governors — its highest-ranking governing body — will have an ad hoc meeting Friday to potentially decide whether all NCAA fall sports championships would be postponed or canceled.

The meeting is not on the Board’s calendar, and its agenda is not on the NCAA Board of Governors’ website. According to The Athletic, the Board of Governors also met last week, and there is no agenda or notification for that meeting, either. The next scheduled meeting is Aug. 4 and 5.

A decision was punted until the first week of August. It would be a shame to cancel everything. Lots of areas of the country are safe enough to play in my opinion.

From Bret McMurphy:

NCAA Board of Governors, which consists of reps from Divisions I-III, did not vote on fall sports championships, sources told @Stadium. Instead each Division will decide if & how to proceed with fall sports, sources told @Stadium, because of drastic differences between Divisions

A brief peep through all the fog suggests that the decision on NCAA basketball will be made by September, with "hope" in some quarters that we may be looking at a November start, while others suggest preparing for things to crank up in January, but, at the very least, an NCAA Tournament WILL take place - - the NCAA cannot afford for it not to take place:

Per the article, the NCAA lost $385 million earlier this year by not staging the NCAAT.

Move it to January start! Get the damn vaccines going! Full season with fans. BET in MSG in May, then June Madness. Would love to see my Jays in the Wichita regional as a 1 seed after we knock off KU in the Phog for the Big East-Big 12 Battle.
