On Monday, the NCAA Division I Council Committee voted regarding eligibility for winter and spring-sport athletes. The committee decided to grant an extra year of eligibility to spring athletes, but denied an extra year for winter athletes. While this may be controversial in either direction, the NCAA ultimately made the correct decision.
Big 12 student-athletes who compete in spring sports, such as baseball and tennis, had not begun conference play when their seasons were canceled due to COVID-19. This was the case in many conferences across the NCAA.
Extraordinary problems deserve extraordinary solutions.
