In an official statement on the “Inside the NCAA” twitter account, the NCAA Division I Council Coordination Committee said they agree “eligibility relief is appropriate for spring sports.”
The full statement reads:
“Council leadership agreed that eligibility relief is appropriate for all Division I student-athletes who participated in spring sports. Details of eligibility relief will be finalized at a later time. Additional issues with NCAA rules must be addressed, and appropriate governance bodies will work through those in the coming days and weeks.”
The announcement comes a day after the NCAA canceled winter and spring championships as well as all NCAA season competitions due to the coronavirus outbreak.
