Reports: NCAA to grant additional eligibility to spring sport athletes

With the cancellation of sports across all the major professional leagues as well as the NCAA, teams, athletes and fans have about a million questions on what this means across the board — who still gets paid? Will UVA get another championship celebration in both basketball and lacrosse? What does this mean for the seniors?

Understandably, there aren’t a ton of answers right now as things unfold at breakneck speed. But the NCAA is certainly working towards it. Multiple reports on Twitter are saying that the NCAA will be granting an additional season of competition to student-athletes of spring sports, but no decision has yet been made for those who compete in winter sports.
