NCAA President Mark Emmert announced Thursday that the organization’s top tier will not hold fall championships in 2020 amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“We cannot now, at this point, have fall NCAA championships because there’s not enough schools participating,” Emmert said in a Thursday video interview, explaining that the organization’s board of governors said half of schools must be playing a sport in order to “have a legitimate championship.”

“We can’t in any Division I NCAA championship sport now, which is everything other than FBS football that goes on in the fall. So, sadly, tragically, that’s going to be the case this fall. Full stop,” he continued, referring to the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)
The FBS is the highest tier of NCAA Division I football.

The president said that the NCAA is focusing on how to safely hold winter and spring championships for student athletes across the country.

1. Doesn't Apply To Top Tier College Football

The NCAA has littke involvement with & no control over the FBS championship.
So, they can't cancel whatever it is the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 are going to attempt.
FCS, Divisions 2 & 3 are canceled, of course. Those are run by NCAA.
But, college football at it's largest, most overblown, at it's dirtiest is unaffected by this decision.
