All spring NCAA Championship sports granted another year of eligibility
Senior athletes reactions to their seasons ending
All student-athletes who are part of a spring NCAA championship sport have been granted an additional year of eligibility, according to Pace Associate Athletics Director for External Operations, Drew Brown.
However, the sudden end to the spring 2020 season came as a shock to many student-athletes. On Thursday, Pace Athletics Twitter released a video of senior athletes discussing the end of their seasons.
