DI, DII, & DIII Council Coordination Committees Grant Eligibility Relief

NCAA Division I, II, and III Council Coordination Committee agreed, eligibility relief is appropriate for spring sports:

A statement from the NCAA Division I Council Coordination Committee:

  • All Division I sports will operate under the guidelines of a recruiting DEAD period from now until April 15, 2020.
  • The Council Coordination Committee agreed that it will be appropriate to grant relief for the use of a season of competition for student-athletes who have participated in spring sports.
  • The committee recognizes that several issues need to be addressed related to providing an additional season of competition, including financial aid implications.
  • Conferences and institutions should make decisions and take action in the best interests of their student-athletes and communities without first seeking approval through an interpretation or waiver.  For example, institutional discretion should be used to provide appropriate support, benefits, and expenses to student-athletes as adjustments are made to academic and athletics schedules.
