    Giving a full year back to winter sports athletes would be absurd.

    As I saw someone tweet a few days ago, the NCAA would also probably need to consider giving everyone else on the roster an extra year too. If I'm one of your guys who has spent his career sitting behind Ward or Shahid and I suddenly lose my chance to start as a senior because they're granted a full year (without getting a full year back myself), I would probably be less than thrilled.

    You could argue that an attitude like that makes me not a team player, but if I've patiently spent 2-3 years of my career waiting my turn, I'd argue that I've been a pretty solid team player up to that point.

    I don't believe the Spring sport eligibility extension is just for seniors. It's for everyone.

    I'm just speculating, but I am assuming this doesn't include basketball. Basketball is considered a winter sport, and this mandate is for spring sports because it's consistent and across the board.

    The release said they are considering possible action for winter sports as well. Definitely much more difficult to consider because some were already done, some definitely weren't, and some are unknown. I'm guessing they either won't allow it at all or will allow some kind of appeal process and determine on a case by case basis.

    Interesting.. so let me make sure I understand it. Spring sports only right? Baseball, softball, golf, and track and field right?

    Would be cool if they did it for Winter Sports impacted by this but its not really fair since most teams didnt make the big dance and the really good teams will be sending players to the NBA

    Personally I would rather see June Madness

    Sure. I was basing my point in the title of this thread. Specifically related to winter sports. Spring sports I suppose makes more sense.

    Jeff Goodman says the NCAA will vote on the extra year for winter sport on Mar 30th
