Grau/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesOn Wednesday, the NCAA Division I Council met to resolve one of the key questions surrounding competition in fall sports — with so many conferences postponing all fall sports until the spring (and some conferences moving forward with plans to compete), how will that impact eligibility for those athletes who do compete?
How the NCAA chooses to handle that issue becomes more significant with the possibility of cancelations if fall sports do start as planned in conferences like the Big 12.
Based on multiple reports out of the meeting, the council voted to allow key concessions to benefit athletes.
