The NCAA Division I Council officially adopted a resolution to allow all Division I Winter sports athletes an additional year of eligibility, regardless if they compete this season or not.  If implemented in the same fashion as the waivers granted to 2020 spring and fall athletes, those seniors that return next year won't count against their school's scholarship limits in 2021-2022.  The additional year and scholarship are not guaranteed.  They are up to the school's choice, and likely dictated by budget.  If implemented the same as the rule in Division II, it appears that the relaxation of the scholarship limits does not apply to a senior that transfers schools for supplemental year of eligibility in 2021-2022.

Sadly, despite a strong case, the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota voted to cut Men's gymnastics, indoor track and field and tennis.  The motion passed by a 7 to 5 vote.  The Men's program had developed a counter proposal that showed a path to self-funding and the addition of a new women's sports paid for through a public club program.  Originally, the University had been expecting up to a $70M shortfall in their budget.  After the resumption of football, this deficit has been cut down to $30M.  Despite this positive changes, these thee sports were not spared.  Men's outdoor track and field has survived and roster cuts to other sports have been planned, but not finalized.  These cuts on the women's side may be lessened with the decision to save men's outdoor track and field.
