    NCAA to allow an extra year of eligibility for spring sports athletes

    @GoodmanHoops
    The NCAA’s Council Coordination Committee has agreed to grant relief for the use of a season of competition for student-athletes who have participated in spring sports. Committee will also discuss issues for winter sport student-athletes.

    @GoodmanHoops
    Players in spring sports get another year of eligibility.
    NCAA looking into what to do with those who played winter sports.

    If they let some seniors play basketball for another year, they'd have to do something about roster size.
    Or else the incoming freshmen would be in a bind.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    This should NOT apply to Winter sports though. They already basically played their whole seasons. At least, that's my opinion.

    I don’t see it happening for basketball just because the NCAA tourney was cancelled. I mean they played for a full season. Spring sports makes sense because they essentially lost an entire year of eligibility. I would think that all spring sports athletes will be granted another year of eligibility regardless of year, since they would be losing out on it. A redshirt year for all if they want it.

    I think every team should be granted one Senior exemption...like an internal draft. At least there would be some sports programming to talk about.

    This is tough on current high school seniors. Who are already getting screwed out of their senior spring sports season.

    I think it’s a great decision at first glance....BUT it does pose some questions in regards to roster sizes, # of scholarships allowed per sport (the NCAA allows only 11.7 full scholarships for a typical 35 member baseball roster), and how those extra scholarships are going to be paid for.

    You mean the school can't just pay itself for an extra couple scholly's? The whole debate around scholarship cost to school is so hilariously funny to me. Schools just moving money from one account to another lol.
