NCAA to vote on extra eligibility for Winter/Spring Sport Athletes next week

Will Nate Sestina get an extra year of eligibility? We’ll find out next week.

According to Jeff Goodman, on Monday, the NCAA will vote on whether winter and spring athletes should receive an additional year of eligibility due to the coronavirus pandemic. The NCAA has already said it will grant relief for spring sport athletes, but hasn’t specified the details or mentioned anything about winter sports.

Yesterday, John Calipari said spring sport athletes should absolutely get an additional year of eligibility, but the logistics are a lot trickier when you look at winter sports like basketball, whose regular seasons were already over when the cancellations began.
