NCAA Announces Fall Sports Won’t Count toward Athletes’ Eligibility

There are 21 players listed as seniors on Oklahoma State’s 2020 football roster, but no matter how this year goes, that group will have a chance to return in 2021.

On Friday, the NCAA announced that all fall sport athletes will “receive both an additional year of eligibility and an additional year in which to complete it.” The decision came after the Division I board of directors met via video conference.

Additionally, the financial aid of fall sport senior student-athletes who take advantage of the additional year of eligibility and extended clock will not count against team limits in 2021-22.
