The NCAA's president on Thursday announced the cancellation of Division I fall sports championships, which includes volleyball's 2020 Final Four originally set to be held in December in Omaha.

Mark Emmert revealed the decision during a video published on Twitter Thursday afternoon.

FCS football, volleyball, soccer and cross country are among the fall sports affected. The College Football Playoff operates separately from the NCAA.

“We cannot now, at this point, have fall NCAA championships — because there’s not enough schools participating,” Emmert said. “Sadly, tragically, that’s going to be the case this fall.”

1. For Those That Don't Know, the NCAA Does Not Sponsor the FBS Football Championship

the big schools/conferences basically took that away from the NCAA in a money power-play. The NCAA does still sponsor championships in all other sports including Division 1 Basketball which is the major cash-cow for the NCAA. Its also a major reason the NCAA is not making a coordinated decision to cancel all college football games because they really don't control major college football except for eligibility/rule enforcement type issues

I thought they could have been pre-season #1.
