So if a team has already signed incoming freshmen to letters of intent so that there are no remaining scholarships, then that team's seniors don't have the option of returning. Of course, if you're a coach who has had a mass exodus of players transferring out and who only has one senior interested in returning, that seems like a reasonable outcome. On the other hand, if you're a high school senior who was hoping to get a basketball scholarship or if you're a college senior on a team that recruited well in the early signing period and doesn't have a ton of guys transferring out, this idea doesn't look so great.

Way to go, TK, seeing this as an opportunity to help your team competitively rather than an opportunity to be fair to student-athletes. In the interview, TK specifically says that, if seniors are allowed to return for another year, Akron will benefit more than Toledo will, and that wouldn't be fair. If we're trying to be fair to players, then all of Akron's seniors get to return, and guys who have already signed letters of intent also get their scholarships.

Personally, I say move on. Coronavirus sucks. A lot of people have been hurt in a lot of ways. Most of those people will never be "made whole."
