The [URL='http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/ncaa-eligibility-center-announces-flexibility-initial-eligibility-2021-22']NCAA announced[/URL] Monday that 2021 recruits won’t be required to take the SAT or ACT in order to be eligible for Division I or II sports.

The decision came in the wake of numerous standardized tests getting canceled across the country due to COVID-19’s prolonged outbreak.

Student-athletes will be required by the NCAA to uphold a 2.3 GPA to remain academically eligible at the Division I level. Division II student-athletes will need a 2.2 GPA to keep their eligibility.

According to the release, nearly 23 percent of all Division I schools have adopted test-optional policies since mid-July for this academic year, a potential shift towards more and more schools moving away from standardized tests coming years.
