The California Golden Bears winter student-athletes already had their 2019-20 season affected by the coronavirus pandemic, shutting down their postseasons and altering the ends of their academic years.
Unlike the student-athletes who participated in spring, summer and fall athletic activities, those who play winter sports were still left with questions this year as to whether or not their eligibility would be washed this year or not.
The spring and fall student-athletes were already given a one-time exemption of eligibility due to playing their respective sports during the global pandemic (fall) or having their entire seasons canceled earlier this year (spring).
