NCAA to Grant Student-Athletes Participating in Spring Sports an Extra Year of Eligibility

A new decision in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic shutting down NCAA sports for the year.

This decision comes after the committee decided to shutter the men’s and women’s championship events for Winter/Spring sports and March Madness. This does not include basketball (both men’s and women’s) since it is classified as a winter sport.
