Could this still be the ignition switch?

Yes.

Is it possible that if the ignition switch is bad, that the starter turns over but there is no spark to coil?

Yes. Coil current and starter solenoid switch current are separate circuits within the switch. The starter solenoid switch only gets current when the switch is in the START position. Coil current is provided in both START and RUN positions. Your switch is likely carbon fouled where the switch makes contact as it rotates to include the starter solenoid switch contact.

Assuming the switch to be the problem, further delay in replacing the electrical portion of the switch will eventually add another symptom...... no start at all.
