However, Matt is correct … all student athletes should have a year’s eligibility added for their option to play. That is what the ADs should be seeking for their student athletes.

This is basically a giant middle finger to the athletics directors. Most of the sports programs probably have not gotten started conference play and this is how you repay them back? I feel like the seniors should be given the opportunity to redshirt just because the coronavirus thing was out of their control and they couldn’t do anything about it, and to cut their senior years short just because of this is unfair to the schools.

It’s a buzzkill to even imagine how much the fanbase will be groaning on about, especially with some of our current UH sports programs now starting to find its stride, women’s water polo, men’s tennis, baseball, and men’s volleyball in particular.

I feel like the ADs for all DI schools should take notice on this because you get the sense that the seniors for the respective sport they played worked hard to get where they’re at, and to take it all away is unfair and disheartening for them. They deserve better than that. And I think they should be given the chance to finish positively on a strong note.

Most people knew about the basketball and volleyball players, but so many others in other sports are affected too. There’s a change.org petition asking the NCAA to give these seniors and others at other institutions another year of eligibility. https://www.change.org/p/ncaa-let-ncaa-athletes-get-a-year-of-eligibility-back?recruiter=934425688&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial&recruited_by_id=346421a0-290a-11e9-ac77-57323d84e554&utm_content=fht-20799980-en-us%3Av2
