The Big 12 will continue moving forward with the intent on playing fall football, a league source told ESPN on Tuesday, confirming a Yahoo Sports report. 

The conference's board of directors met for more than an hour Tuesday to discuss the future of the season in the midst of the Big Ten and Pac-12 decisions to postpone fall sports until 2021.

Much attention was on the Big 12 meeting after the ACC and SEC publicly affirmed their intention to continue moving forward.

The decision now leaves three of the Power 5 conferences intent on playing for now.

The Big 12 athletic directors are set to meet late Tuesday.
