After the Mountain West announced that it was postponing fall sports to include football, there was may questions about the decision that was made. The question of eligibility may be one of the most important questions to answer. What happens to the seniors that want to play but are not given the opportunity? Are they given another year of eligibility? The Mountain West has made no official statement about giving eligibility back to players, but it would seem wrong to not do it.
In the Spring, the NCAA voted to grant an extra year of eligibility to all student athletes in spring sports whose seasons were cancelled because of the COVID-19.
