The Division One Council with the N-C-A-A has voted to let schools like Wisconsin and Marquette extend eligibility for another season to athletes involved in spring sports.
Their season was cut short or eliminated by the coronavirus.
In its Monday vote, the Council also adjusted financial aid rules to let teams keep more athletes on scholarship to make room for incoming recruits.
Council chair M. Grace Calhoun says the decision gives individual schools the flexibility to make those decisions at the campus level.
Winter sports like basketball aren’t affected.
