Think that would be a hard bell to un-ring. Why? Let's say 2020-21 season doesn't happen. The 2021-22 season happens and schools get one season where players who were supposed to be using their 4th season (seniors) don't count against scholarship numbers. Then 2022-23 goes back to normal. This is exactly the scenario for spring sports. |

Maybe this has been discussed, but if season is cancelled, does everyone get another year of eligibility? Current NCAA rules give athletes 5 years to participate in 4 seasons of competition. So the answer for the vast majority of athletes is 'yes' and it wouldn't require any NCAA exceptions. Where I would expect to see the NCAA step in is where athletes have already used a redshirt or a medical hardship. I'd think the NCAA would allow them an extra year to play 4 seasons (so now 6 years). If they didn't do that, they'd really only be punishing athletes who missed a previous season for a reason outside of their control. What I don't know is if the NCAA will allow teams to go over scholarship limits like they did for spring sports? In bold, is basically what I have been using as my justification for allowing an additional year to compete 4 seasons. Situations like Giorgia Civita are where it will be interesting to see what the NCAA does. She's obviously eligible to play this year - but she would need the 6th-year exemption to compete the following year. And if this season is cancelled completely, would she still have the chance to apply for an additional year of eligibility (technically 7th-year). One UCLA Softball player - Jenavee Perez has already done this. She is eligible to play in 2021 and will be a "7th year student". She was a 6th-year in 2020 when the NCAA cancelled spring sports and granted them an additional year of eligibility. |

We're on the same page. My comment was more based on the NCAA not offering the same thing to the fall athletes as they did to the past spring athletes. |

Last team to cancel their season wins the NC. Maybe UCF volleyball will be able to hang a national championship banner next to the football one.  |
