The Council have not confirmed an official announcement, as the proposal needs approval by the Division I Board of Directors, which will meet Friday. If approved, all fall sport athletes, whether they play this season or not, will not be docked one of their four years of eligibility.<\/p>\n<p>A similar decision by the NCAA regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-division-i-council-coordination-committee-agrees-eligibility-relief-is-appropriate-for-spring-sports-winter-sports-still-uncertain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">last year&#8217;s spring sports season<\/a> as the COVID-19 pandemic wiped away the entire spring season last year.
