After canceling all winter and spring championships, the NCAA said it is discussing allowing eligibility relief for seniors in sports who saw their seasons cut short amid COVID-19 concerns.

“Council leadership agreed that eligibility relief is appropriate for all Division I student-athletes who participated in spring sports,” the NCAA said in a statement on Friday. “Details of eligibility relief will be finalized at a later time.

“Additional issues with the NCAA rules must be addressed, and appropriate governance bodies will work through those in the coming days and weeks.
