As they did for spring athletes, the NCAA approved a blanket waiver for fall athletes to gain an extra year of eligibility.
The move is a little different from the one made in the spring. All spring sports were canceled so many athletes played only a portion of the season, if any at all. But fall athletes, regardless of whether they play this fall or not, will receive an extra year of eligibility.
For example, some conferences like the Big Ten have canceled their fall football season. But the ACC, Pitt’s home, is still moving forward with playing games.
