FAYETTEVILLE -- The NCAA voted Monday night to allow member schools to provide an extra year of eligibility to spring sports athletes at their discretion, but that part of the decision will have little bearing on the University of Arkansas baseball team.
Coach Dave Van Horn said the team's lone senior in eligibility, transfer first baseman Cole Austin, would likely not be returning next season.
"So that part didn't help us one bit," Van Horn said on a teleconference Tuesday. "I'm happy for the seniors. It helps give them the opportunity to come back and play again.
