NCAA Division I athletes in spring sports will be given an extra season of eligibility to make up for the one that was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the association announced Monday.
But the decision by the NCAA Division I Council, which handles day-to-day rules making for the association’s top-level schools, will allow the schools to determine how much scholarship aid to give next year to athletes who were in what would have been their final season of eligibility this year.
However, the Council did agree to adjust scholarship limits to account for incoming athletes and athletes who decide to stay for an extra season.
