FAYETTEVILLE -- Lance Harter, coach of the University of Arkansas women's 2019 national championship teams in cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field, said he wonders how NCAA member schools as a whole will react to the cost of adding athletic scholarships after this year.
The NCAA announced it will grant an extra year of eligibility to student-athletes in spring sports whose seasons were canceled because of health concerns related to the coronavirus.
Spring sports include baseball, golf, outdoor track and field, softball, tennis and lacrosse.
"That will be an interesting conversation at the NCAA level," Harter said of the financial ramifications of additional scholarships.
