Happy Saturday, everyone. A couple of notes for your weekend:
In an unprecedented move, the NCAA officially approved what is effectively a blanket redshirt for all fall-sport players. Not those who opt out, mind you, but all of them.
Additionally, all fall sport student-athletes will receive both an additional year of eligibility and an additional year in which to complete it, as the Council suggested, through a blanket waiver.
The board also adopted the Council-recommended protections for college athletes:
Schools are prohibited from requiring student-athletes to waive legal rights regarding COVID-19 as a condition of athletics participation.
