NCAA recommends free year of eligibility for fall athletes. How would that affect Arizona?

The NCAA Division I Council is recommending that all fall-sports athletes, no matter how much they compete this season, be given a free year of eligibility, according to a report from the Associated Press.

This comes amid plenty of uncertainty about competition this season due to concerns over the coronavirus crisis.

The Pac-12, along with many other conferences, has already postponed fall sports to the spring, though there is no guarantee that they will be able to compete safely by then or if they will have any semblance of a normal season.
