After a vote by the Division I council, the NCAA announced Monday that spring athletes will qualify for an additional year of eligibility.
However, individual schools will determine how much aid will be granted to each student-athlete.
This comes after all NCAA spring sports were canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Council chair M. Grace Calhoun released a statement on the matter.
“The Council’s decision gives individual schools the flexibility to make decisions at a campus level,” Calhoun said in a statement. “The Board of Governors encouraged conferences and schools to take action in the best interest of student-athletes and theirs and their communities, and now schools have the opportunity to do that.
