Anyone have a clue how eligibility/ scholarship space might get handled by the NCAA if the fall sports cancelling continues (which seems more likely than not)? Will all incumbent seniors get another year of eligibility if they want? Will teams get an allowance for more scholarship spots for 2021-2022 then?

I very much doubt if that happens but I really have no idea. I think I will post something over in the 2020 Season thread in the College Football forum to see if those guys have any thoughts. Football is going to be more of a mess than basketball along with the other Fall sports.

if the 2020-21 season never happens, then my understanding is that the players effectively retain a year of eligibility. if so, then the sensible thing would be for a one-time, one-season waiver of the scholarship limit only in such cases where a team has a player who qualifies for and accepts an "extra" season.
what i would like about this decision is that it more or less denies conferences from going rogue and holding their own seasons while everyone else shuts down. imagine that the sec is the only power conference to have a 2020-21 football season. such players would essentially have the option between playing a season no one will officially recognize and playing a season everyone will recognize, assuming, that is, that the world returns back to some semblance of normal by fall 2021. i highly doubt enough sec players would opt for the former over the latter for that conference to end up holding a season.
that being said, i expect that there won't be any rogue conferences no matter the situation. everyone will ultimately fall in line with each other. the scholarship limit waiver just makes it easy on everyone

livers has announced that he's returning, as expected. if they can get the point guard spot sorted out, they should be a very tough team. thinking losing simpson and teske might be a little addition by subtraction. wisconsin proved to be the same after losing happ. sure, simpson racked up a ton of assists, but he also dribbled the air out of the ball and stifled flow. dfbia will have fond memories of him, but so will osu fans*.
the b1g's top half projects to be at least as strong as the last couple seasons.
*
simpson went 2-4 versus osu**.
guessing we have to go back to at least the early 2000s to find a 3/4-year point gaurd at ttun with a winning record versus osu. don't know.

Tillman, married with two kids, stays in draft and Kockburn and Ayo are coming back to school so I guess you probably can switch Sparty and the Illini. Do not know how far I would drop Sparty but I do not think it would be very far. Maybe right after the Illini and before us

NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball Dan Gavitt’s statement on preparation for 2020-21 basketball season
Contingency plans provide alternatives to Nov. 10 start date
August 17, 2020 3:00pm
As we prepare for the 2020-21 college basketball season, we have exercised patience and discipline in monitoring the effects of COVID-19 and making decisions regarding the season. We have learned a great deal over the course of the summer, and with health and safety being our priority, we have developed and studied contingency plans for alternatives to the scheduled Nov. 10 start date.
In the coming weeks, the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Oversight Committees will take the lead with me in a collaborative process of finalizing any recommendations for consideration by the NCAA Division I Council for the start of the college basketball season. By mid-September, we will provide direction about whether the season and practice start on time or a short-term delay is necessitated by the ongoing pandemic.
We recognize that we are living and operating in an uncertain time, and it is likely that mid-September will be just the first milestone for many important decisions pertaining to the regular season and the NCAA basketball championships. While circumstances may warrant flexibility resulting in a different and perhaps imperfect season, the ultimate goal is to safely provide student-athletes and teams with a great college basketball experience.
Conference schedules are still up in the air, but as we've seen recently, a Big Ten schedule isn't worth the bandwidth it's printed on.
Camp is set to begin in October, which is why the NCAA has set a mid-September timeline on their next check in.
