Nothing what so ever. Practice, games, recruiting...

Until further notice part of the statement is encouraging

Time to heat up the summer grill. Sports are essentially over.

A whole bunch of kids in Africa are going to get Syracuse 12x National Champions t-shirts.

Drove by Manly and saw the team practicing like any other day. Drove back 15 minutes later and everyone was gone.

do the athletes get a year of eligibility back?

Interesting problem.

If you give everyone an extra year of eligibility, and you have a new recruiting class coming in, you'll have 70 players on a team.

I posted this in another thread:

I'm for it. But playing Devil's advocate, this will create massive roster issues. I think they would need to allow exemptions for scholarship limits, maybe the number of SA's that take advantage of the extra year.

Also, that would impact NLI signees, who thought they were stepping into minutes, but the graduating player they were coming in to replace is remaining.

Lots of moving parts with this plan - not all of them easy to solve.

So here’s my thought, I don’t think they can give seniors another year. Here’s the problem are you going to give juniors, sophomores, and freshman another year? And how do you balance the number of players on your team?

I feel as though they will have to just call it a lost year for everyone. This is unprecedented.

The only option would be to expand roster size and scholarship allowance for 1 year. Let only the seniors get another year, and move everyone else up a year for next year. That way you only have 1 year that you are backed up. But is this plausible ?

I believe a great deal of these kids will not choose to come back. The price of school, jobs they have committed too, and playing time is only going to be harder to come by next year if they do allow them to stay.

Let me go down the rabbit hole just for fun. If they did give our seniors a waiver our team next year would be insane. The only thing we lacked this year is an attackman who can win one on one consistently and the young man from Culver appears to have that ability!
It will be a crazy few months finding out their plan

Not to mention all the ivy league seniors who can not play as grad students will be able to transfer. Sowers Teat and Culver with Rehfuss off the bench
