The NCAA Board of Governors meeting was expecting to make a ruling on the subject of fall championships. Many had the feeling that they could cancel the championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic currently going on. That led to Power Five leaders discussing the possibility of hosting their own fall championships. One step towards the top conferences leaving the NCAA.
According to Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated, the meeting concluded without a vote.
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.

Brett McMurphy stated that each division of college football would determine their own course of action when it comes to fall championships. It is likely that for college football it would stay as is at this point. However, it now falls into the hands of the Division I Board of Directors. They have a meeting scheduled at 10 am on Wednesday.
The waiting game will continue tomorrow as we await to find out if they will cancel fall championships. If that is indeed the case, there is still the option on the table for the Power Five conference leaders to take this into their own hands.
