The next major COVID-19-related college sports news could come Tuesday afternoon, when the NCAA Board of Governors meets. The group last met July 24 and, in an official statement from NCAA President Mark Emmert, said the NCAA would “continue to thoughtfully and aggressively monitor health conditions around the country.” Emmert said, “it is clear that the format of our championships will have to change if they are to be conducted in a safe and fair manner … We will continue our discussions in August.”
