Keep in mind that nearly all the athletes who participate in spring sports are on (often VERY) partial scholarships. I'd guess many seniors who graduate this May will choose to go on with their lives, foregoing that extra year of eligibility.
And how would the schools handle the scholarship issue? Coach Beiser has a few seniors on his team. What happens if some of them decide to return. Coach has already allocated their scholarships to incoming recruits. Could be quite a mess. And if the NCAA were to increase the scholarship limits for this one year in 2021 (softball from 12 and baseball from 11.7), how will that work? Some of the smaller Div 1 schools may not want the additional costs.
Could create a mess.
