Reports are coming out that the NCAA has approved an additional year for student athletes whose Spring seasons were affected by COVID. Schools can apply self-waivers and financials are different than in the past:
The financial aid flexibility gives schools the option to grant seniors equal or less financial aid than what they would have received in 2019-20. Schools have also been provided with the ability to tap into the NCAA's Student Assistance Fund to pay for scholarships of athletes returning for an additional year who otherwise would have seen their eligibility exhausted.www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ncaa-grants-additional-season-of-eligibility-for-spring-sport-athletes-impacted-by-coronavirus/I can't imagine how busy the Transfer Portal will be between now and the start of the Fall semester. Not sure of the full nuances yet, but let's play a speculation game: 1) Say I'm Jacqueline Quade. I've transferred to UCLA for a single sand season, which was affected. Could I get a blanket waiver and can I join the UCLA indoor team for a season in advance of my 1 Beach season? 2) Say I'm the Nebraska beach VB team. I played a whole indoor season but we were cross training on the Sand as a legitimate NCAA sanctioned team. Similar question as above - do I get an indoor year added (if I want) because my beach season was affected? I could get an extra year, not go pro, and possibly make endorsement $ while pursuing a masters program at full, reduced, or fully subsidized cost |

I wonder how your 2020-21 freshmen class will feel coming into this situation? They are entering a program that has 5 classes in the program, but they only get 4 years. So if you allow them to then redshirt, how does that affect the 2021-22 class?
Sticky wicket here.
Buck has to stop somewhere. Sounds like the 2020--21 recruiting class is getting the shaft.

Athletes for volleyball have 5 years to complete 4 seasons playing. So everyone in the 20-21 class theoretically could redshirt their first year and then play for 4. |

Isn't this mainly affecting spring sports? What impact does this/will this have on indoor volleyball (not sand).

Sounds like the 2020--21 recruiting class is getting the shaft. life's not fair and someone would end up getting the "shaft" to some degree or another. IMO, the spring athletes that would have been seniors this year but had their season taken away by all this should get priority since they've dedicated more time to their college teams than the new recruits have. |

You might consider adding "Spring Sports" in your Subject line . .

Why would Quade or any nebraska players be given another year of indoor eligibility?? Their indoor seasons were not effected.
I can see some of the Nebraska players playing their 5th year at a beach school though.

You can still only play indoor volleyball for 4 seasons. You can still only play beach volleyball for 4 seasons (Spring 2020 officially doesn't count). Spring sport athletes now get six academic years to play those four seasons. What I'm not sure about is if somebody who isn't currently playing beach volleyball, at a school that doesn't offer beach volleyball, would still get the additional year to play beach if they want. |

Athletic scholarship money is sparse in spring sports. I think a majority of spring sport athletes will decline to take their 5th year. The NCAA also clarified that schools are permitted to reduce and/or cancel scholarships for athletes that are graduating this year and would've exhausted their eligibility. I think a LOT of schools are simply going to say we can't afford to scholarship these athletes for another year. |

If girl plays fall volleyball 4 years and graduates. Now she can go to grad school somewhere else and play basketball in winter and beach vb in spring? Is this correct? Let's say she becomes the Graduate Assistant somewhere, then she doesn't even need to get a beach scholarship.

All athletes have a "5th year" of eligibility in any sport that they did not compete in during their 4 previous years, this is why we see many indoor players transfer and begin grad school at a different place and compete in sand. This waiver will not effect any indoor volleyball athletes for this season, it may limit the available sand opportunities in Spring 2021 because athletes who transferred to start grad school Spring 2020 will be able to compete in the second year of a Masters program when originally they would not have been eligible.
