NCAA will grant extra year of eligibility to all athletes in fall sports

Roster management in college football is about to get a lot more complicated.

The NCAA has approved a proposal to allow all athletes in fall sports to not lose a season of eligibility, regardless of whether they have seasons or not. Stadium reporter Brett McMurphy broke the news.
