I think you give them an extra year of eligibility to play, but do not extend the scholarships another year. If they want to play another year, then they should pay the tuition. Unless the universities completely shut down, and they get no credit for this semester, they are getting their full scholarship. IMHO

So HS seniors are getting screwed twice. No senior HS season, probably not going to get much playing time next spring unless you’re an absolute stud if there are returning seniors. And HS recruits through 2023 will see less recruiting dollars available because every frosh - junior college player on scholarship will probably retain those dollars. Sounds fair.

Whats the # of students this would apply to? Talking college #'s?
Seniors?
All 4 years?

Even if some choose not to stay and play another year
( those who can graduate move on)

This would extend the problem into some years to come.

Other poster made a good point, on line schooling finishing this year they are still getting benefit of scholarship $.

We cannot bring back what has been lost.
We can build the future,
that means moving forward.
Imo does not seem smart to limit opportunity for next generations.
They do not need to inherit this predicament!

Millions of people are at a loss without recouping the loss.
It is unfortunet. Even as much as i enjoy and encourage softball. It is a few months of a season lost,... that could affect many more people by this interesting possibility.

From reading the article it seems that no one will get granted the extra year of eligibility. Just not enough funding to make that happen, especially outside of the P5 conferences. Think the NCAA put their foot in their mouth on the early statement without really looking at the financial implications of the decision.

This is based on the assumption that there will be a Spring 2021 season, which may or may not happen. Universities have a very fragile business model and are more concerned with survival than the resumption of non-essential activities.

Seniors in spring sports should get extra year of eligibility. if that is on same scholarship money, reduced, or none at all should be up to respective schools and or conferences. since most spring athletes are not on full scholarship, I think you will see a good portion take their degree and move on. some will stay. it should be left up to the student athlete, once the school tells them what they can expect $ wise.

Interesting?
Wonder if revenue will play a part in whats non-essential?
