You waive roster limits for 1 year to accommodate the athletes. That should allow everyone to get back under the number fairly easily.

Some schools may not be able to afford the scholarship hit financially, especially with the NCAA not getting its tournament check. If they have weak endowments with the hit it took in the financial markets, money will be tough for some schools. I don’t have an answer for them.

Does the NCAA take up the “what if” scenario with 2020-21 football and basketball yet?

For the reasons you mentioned, you give seniors a year back now and allow any current Juniors who want an extra year beyond 2021 to put in a waiver after conferring with their coaches as a 5th year would take a spot from a recruit.

Football is such a larger sport by volume of scholarships that it’s going to be really tough to make a call. They’d better be realistically planning now for how they could afford to bring guys back for a year across the board because it may not be financially possible for all AND bring in a whole class, even with a waiver of scholarship limits for a year
