NCAA will not grant additional eligibility to winter sport athletes

Despite having their seasons cut short in several instances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, winter sport athletes will not receive additional eligibility, the NCAA announced Wednesday.

Spring sport athletes will be given an additional year of eligibility, the NCAA announced.

In an interview with WDRB Sports, Indiana senior De’Ron Davis said recently that he would not have taken advantage of another year of eligibility even if given the opportunity.

Michigan State’s Tom Izzo had advocated for seniors in college basketball impacted by the cancelation of the NCAA tournament to be granted an additional year of eligibility.
