The NCAA plans to grant spring student athletes relief for a season of eligibility after canceling winter and spring championships due to the coronavirus outbreak, according to Stadium's Jeff Goodman.
"The NCAA's Council Coordination Committee has agreed to grant relief for the use of a season of competition for student-athletes who have participated in spring sports," reports Goodman.
"[The] Committee will also discuss issues for winter sport student-athletes."
The committee's decision comes one day after the NCAA canceled March Madness and all winter and spring championships. The decision sparked an outcry from players, coaches and athletic directors, particularly seniors who had their final season come to a sudden halt.
