With the NCAA Division I Council voting on Monday to grant additional eligibility to student-athletes who play spring sports, head baseball coach Mike Bianco and his staff are exploring the effects on the 2021 roster.
Bianco will be forced to manage extra roster spots for seniors whose eligibility would have otherwise run out and juniors who would have elected to enter the MLB draft and play professionally — all mixed in with the upcoming recruiting class prospects that were set to take those vacated spots.
The decision from the NCAA was expected, but the coach said he delayed speaking with players affected by the ruling until it was official.
