Tracking COVID Years

Late last year, the NCAA announced all winter sport athletes would be granted an extra year of eligibility no matter how much of their 2021 season they are able to complete. Now that the season is coming to a close and gymnasts are announcing their intention to return or retire, we decided to put the announcements all in one place.

The following information has been curated from gymnasts, teams and other journalists and will continue to be updated as more announcements are made.

For more information about the extra year of eligibility, stay tuned for the next Compliance Column where Noel Couch answers every question you can think of and more.
