The NCAA Division I Council voted Monday to allow member schools to provide spring-sport student-athletes a blanket extension of intercollegiate athletics eligibility, meaning those who lost a season due to the COVID-19 pandemic will gain an extra year of competition.
Baseball, softball, tennis, men’s and women’s track and field and men’s and women’s golf are the WKU programs with student-athletes that will be awarded an additional year of eligibility.
As previously reported, the Division I Council Coordination Committee agreed March 13 that eligibility relief would be appropriate for spring sports impacted by the coronavirus.
