I don't think they'd only be able to do it for seniors as it would have to be an across the board decision if an extra year was allocated. Lawyers would swoop down in a heartbeat if one class was treated differently. So really you'd have to allocate 4 years of scholarship money. Any school that didn't have D1 football would be devastated financially by such as decision.
Call out culture had the NCAA put its foot in its mouth as was stated in this thread. Online petitions, and posts forced a quick but not very well thought out statement by the NCAA. I still think that if the schools are back up in the fall the NCAA should allow current seniors to play a fall season with a 64 team single elimination bracket that ends in a championship. Once fall is over seniors move on and spring starts fresh. There really is no other way to make this work without impacting all other years and scholarships.

Somebody mentioned this already I think, but if college football isn't played in the Fall (talk about no social distancing for those stadiums) I am not sure too many P5 conference spring sports will be able to function...
I meant the schools/conferences could individually decide to extend seniors for the extra year of eligibility, the same scholarship $ they had for the prior year, part of this, or no $. then the student athlete decides if they want to stay on.? How can that be SAME scholarship $$$$?

and actually, for most spring athletes, they are probably eligible for a red shirt.

Maybe the $ to make up for any NCAA shortfall will be in the next stimulus bill

actually, schools can treat each class differently. If the NCAA grants the senior spring sport student athletes eligibility, the schools can allocate their scholarship money any way they see fit, all scholarships are year to year, so schools could decide say to say no scholarships for returning juniors, and grant spring athletes in class of 2020 another year. with no legal recourse by anyone. signing LOI indicates you accept that it is year to year.

Assuming you are sharing this just to say its a possibility.
Are you considering how that could demolish a program?
*Everyone has taken an impact.
PLEASE NCAA dont pass this to Future Generations to inherit this predicament !
Best of luck to everyone!!

Unfortunately I think the most fair thing you could possibly do is:
Grant all Spring athletes an extra year of eligibility
Honor Spring athletes scholarship for THIS season
In other words grant all impacted athletes 4 years of $$ but 5 years of eligibility.
I would also allow for all springs sports at least for a couple years expanded rosters.
