The NCAA Board of Governors held a 5.5-hour Zoom meeting Tuesday with the main discussion topic surrounding the status of fall championships. While there was a high level of uncertainty from FCS circles heading into the meeting, expectations were we would learn something regarding the FCS playoffs sometime today.

That doesn’t appear to be the case with no word from the NCAA as of 7 p.m. CT tonight. HERO Sports’ Brian McLaughlin reported at 5 p.m. that multiple sources told him the decision won’t be announced until Wednesday morning.

Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated reported two hours later that no vote occured at the meeting.

News: The NCAA Board of Governors did not determine a course for the future of fall championships at its meeting today, source told @SINow.

There was not vote, despite the meeting lasting until around 7 pm tonight.

The next steps are unclear.

It was also reported around the same time that the board has decided not to make a decision at all, and each division will now decide for themselves.

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

Six of the 13 FCS conference have already postponed their fall season. The decision on the playoffs will influence a lot of decisions for the remaining conferences on whether to play in the fall or spring.
