Takeaways from an NCAA Conference Call to DI Representatives Re: COVID-19
Key takeaways from the conference call
- Whether all Division I spring sport student-athletes will be able to receive an additional season of eligibility. They had previously agreed in principle to the “concept” of all Division I spring sport athletes receiving an additional year of eligibility, but no official decision has been made at this point.
- Whether Division I winter sport student-athletes will be able to receive an additional season of eligibility.
- Whether the scholarship limits for Division I spring sports will be increased for next year, and whether a 6th year of eligibility will be offered to all spring sport athletes or only to those who are currently in their last year of their “five-year clock.”
- They will also address the impact of an additional year of eligibility for those student-athletes who transfer to an NCAA Division I university from another college level.
