The Arizona Wildcats still haven’t heard from the NCAA if James Akinjo has been granted immediate eligibility, but it doesn’t matter at this point.
With the Pac-12 announcing last week that all sports are off until at least January, Akinjo should be eligible for Arizona’s season opener since it will take place in the spring semester, roughly a calendar year since he transferred in from Georgetown.
Had the season started in November like usual, Akinjo would have had to miss the first two months had he not received a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately.
