The NCAA announced their eligibility guidelines for the student athletes who saw their seasons get cut short due to the COVID-19 virus on Monday evening.
The organization came to a conclusion and has granted an extra year of eligibility to spring sport athletes due to the premature ending of their season from COVID-19. However, the NCAA has decided not to grant an extra year of eligibility for winter sports athletes, according to a report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania, which includes men’s basketball.
For WSU, the only athlete that will be affected by the decision, as for winter sports athletes, is Jaime Echenique.
