NCAA grants extra year of eligibility for winter athletes
So I have not seen this on the thread yet, but looks like winter sport athletes received an extra year of eligibility.

Interesting implications are that Goldwire could return next year, and Baker's redshirt being waived could be a moot point. I guess any 4 year player could stay an extra year if they wanted to.
Could cause some awkward conversations with coaches dealing with seniors that don't want to leave.
I also think this would have been interesting how this would have lined up perfectly with the end of one and done, and the expected talent drain in CBB that year.
NCAA allowing extra year of eligibility...
...to participants in Winter Sports, and that would include basketball. I suppose it is a sign of the complete embrace of OAD that there hasn’t been a single comment on DBR about this significant development.
It is surprising The NCAA gave the green light on this given the difficulty schools may have fund-raising when benefits to donors are going to be curtailed in the near-term. And it will presumably send the already active transfer portal into overdrive after this season.
curious about another player too
Kedsy's question, as always, is a good one.
I'm also curious about Justin Robinson's situation ... did he go out exactly the way he wanted ... or does he want to come back ... and could he?
and imagine, if he did come back for a legendary return for the spring semester, and hit a few more 3's against the tar heels, what would they say in Chapel Hill about this amazing student athlete and teammate?
