NCAA to grant extra year of eligibility to spring athletes

College seniors may have not played their final events.

GolfChannel.com has learned that the NCAA is planning to grant an extra season of competition to all student-athletes who have participated in spring sports this year.

The decision comes a day after the NCAA canceled the rest of its winter and spring competition seasons, including all of its remaining championships. The NCAA Division I men's and women's golf championships were schedule to be played May 22-June 3 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. Regionals were slated for early May.

The NCAA's Council Coordination Committee is still discussing details, including whether or not winter-sport athletes will be considered for this exemption.
