NCAA grants D-I blanket waiver, freezes eligibility for 2020-21 season
The NCAA has decided that playing any amount of games during the 2020-21 season in Division I will not count against eligibility.
College football players will be allowed to play unlimited games during the 2020-21 season without exhausting any eligibility, according to a report from The Athletic.
The NCAA Board of Directors was set to vote on a waiver for all fall sports student-athletes today. Now, players could participate in a full 12-game season of competition in either the fall or spring and still return. The “eligibility clock” will also not be affected this season, meaning many players could have six years to play five.
