The NCAA is doing the right thing. Athletes who participate in spring sports will be given extra eligibility to continue their careers so seniors in sports such as baseball or softball will be given an opportunity to have another season of play, presumably, once things return to normal.

At this stage a decision in regards to athletes who play winter sports, such as basketball, has not been made yet but it does remain part of the NCAA's ongoing discussions.

How the decision is going to impact scholarship numbers is one of the things that has to be ironed out still, but it certainly feels like the right decision by the NCAA.
