NCAA Grants Additional Eligibility for Winter Sports

Share this...

The NCAA announced Oct. 14 it would offer additional eligibility to Division I student-athletes who participate in winter sports, extending the same courtesy it gave last year’s spring and this year’s fall student-athletes due to COVID-19. The Division I Council decided winter sport student-athletes — men’s and women’s basketball in Loyola’s case — will receive an extra year of eligibility as well as an additional year to complete it.

“The pandemic will continue to impact winter sport seasons in ways we can’t predict,” Council Chair M. Grace Calhoun said in the release.
