NCAA to give free year of eligibility to Winter Sport athletes this season.

Vote is set to come today.

Hopefully its like Football where the school will have the option to bring back our three seniors without it counting towards the scholarship limits on the schools dime if they wish.

Good news for a guy like Sotos that we requested instant eligibility for that the team was looking at sitting out this season to play next instead. Now they can use him both if approved.

Also burning El Diablo's redshirt last year was a bit questionable, but with this extra year, looks like the right move for sure to keep him involved and growing.

Tough to wrap one's head around all the ramifications.

Gonna be a very weird next couple seasons.

Division I five-year clock: If you play at a Division I school, you have five-calendar years in which to play four seasons of competition. Your five-year clock starts when you enroll as a full-time student at any college.

Question: Does this automatically add a 6th year of eligibility for those already on their 5th year (i.e. or who have already taken a red shirt year), etc.?
