Expanded roster, and scholarship exemptions must come with this!
scholarship exemptions likely only help the big schools. Smaller don't have the budgets.
Give these organizations time to figure it out. It's a bigger problem- as some have pointed out - for those who are graduating, those who cant afford a graduate year.
I love this decision but (IMO) it’s is going to create a lot of disappointment because lots of these kids won’t be asked to come back because of incoming freshmen.
A lot of these kids can't afford or don't want to spend the money to come back, and it goes down the line I'm sure. My understanding is everyone gets a year of eligibility back. My son is committed to a school with 10 seniors (2 are grad students).
Anyway, until there is more clarity not much I can worry about now.

I didn't think about this. I guess the coaches might trim from each class to get rosters in line quickly. It could be brutal for the tail of the rosters.
... and I didn't think about underclassmen getting their year back as well. In my mind, it would be a consideration just for seniors. But, if true and all get another year, this could have more of an impact on recruiting than expected. It still seems the fair and right thing to do... but may certainly make life interesting for the next few incoming classes.
I sure wouldn't want to be committed to those schools with a huge recruiting class. That will be cut throat...

The decisions are based on the big programs. Always follow the money.
Wonder if they will grant an additional red shirt year for incoming freshman, a traditional red shirt year just in case and a "corona" red shirt year.

Why would it be only seniors? Everyone has been affected. The way I look at this: there will be more talented players than ever on each roster, at each level. Guys may need to transfer down a level, depending on what’s coming in behind them. But, at least guys will have that option (possibly). The top guys from top programs will be lost to the draft as usual. Other division 1 programs may become more competitive with higher RPI programs. It could make for a very fun to watch season. Domino effect for each level.
Eoker, it’s always cut throat. Coach will keep the players that he thinks will get the most wins. If you signed a LOI, it won’t matter. He’ll let ya know your services are no longer needed. “We’re going in a different direction.” Etc.

Just more knives and more throats next year.

It is, but this goes back to what's often said here, do your research about the program you're going into.Obviously you can't research this, but IMO this is not the same situation as just going in and knowing you have to compete.
I don don't know what the answer is. I do this this is more likely to affect 2021s. Lots of seniors will already have jobs lined up.
Of course I'm biased having a 2020 and 2022, but would be nice to allow 2020s and 2021s a one time transfer under certain conditions, I'm not sure exactly what those conditions would be, depends what the NCAA ends up doing.
Probably a stupid question, but the the statement from the NCAA specifies eligibility relief for D1 athletes. Any guess as to why it isn't "D1 and D2"?
Reading the NCAA website, it appears that the cancellation may affect some D2 athletes as well. Or am I reading it wrong?
"Division II student-athletes must complete their four seasons of competition within the first 10 semesters or 15 quarters of full-time enrollment."
Yep definitely cut throat. Didn't say it wasn't or wouldn't be. But I sure wouldn't want to be at a Vandy or Ark with 19-20 coming in each of the next 2 years classes. Ark loves their JUCO transfers, so does Tx A&M. A lot more guys fighting for roster spots there. The guys are going D1, it's always going to be cut throat and every year, they bring in more people trying to take your job.
It sucks for 2020s, even more for 2021 because they don’t have to honor those. Wondering if more HS will go in the draft that had planned to do college. If the push the draft, do the 2020s even get a choice? It’s a mess.
Curious how it'll work out for DIII guys going to grad school, like my son. He's eligible for a medical redshirt for this season, to boot, having just had wrist surgery. He's been accepted to several schools already, though no word yet from the one he applied to where he thinks he'd have the best chance to play.

Are you thinking he would get 2 additional years? That would be cool but I’d be surprised if they grant two for one messed up year.
