With the NCAA abruptly canceling its postseason tournaments across the board in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there was hope — ever so slight hope, but hope nonetheless! — that athletes in winter sports whose season was ended could be granted an extra year of eligibility.
That hope appears to be flickering. Jon Rothstein reported Wednesday that the possibility of that happening is “unlikely,” though players involved in spring sports — baseball, softball among them — have been granted an extra year.
So that’s how it ends for Jonathan Laurent, Cam McGriff, Lindy Waters, Thomas Dziagwa and Trey Reeves.
