Power 5 Leaders Exploring Possibility of Staging Their Own Fall Sports Championships [URL]https://www.si.com/college/2020/08/01/power-5-exploring-staging-own-fall-sports-championships-2020[/URL] In anticipation of the NCAA Board of Governors potentially canceling or postponing fall sports championships, Power 5 conference leaders have begun exploring the possibility of staging their own championships in those affected sports, multiple sources have told [I]Sports Illustrated[/I]. This could be seen as a first step toward a long-theorized breakaway from the NCAA by the 65 schools that play college sports at the highest level. The Board of Governors, comprised primarily of university presidents and chancellors from all levels of the NCAA, has a meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
