Winter student-athletes to receive free year of eligibility

The NCAA Division 1 Council voted this week to ratify multiple measures pertaining to the winter sports calendar, most notably being that each student-athlete within the winter sports will receive a free year of eligibility.

Winter sports were the lone student-athlete term that did not have the waiver granted to them as both fall and spring athletes were granted such a waiver early on in the process.

The NCAA voted previously to all spring and fall sports athletes to maintain their year of eligibility no matter which or how much or what portions of their seasons were affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
