RE: Should seniors get a special extra year of eligibility
Sentimentally, absolutely - these kids did not have an opportunity to finish their careers on the biggest stage of college basketball: March Madness. Administratively, I have a hard time envisioning a way to not only allow all of these seniors an extra year, but also allow the incoming batch of freshmen scholarships spots as well. The power conferences for sure would find ways to accommodate and pay for it, but for other leagues/programs, not so much. Does the NCAA expand the roster size for one season? With the immediate transfer eligibility, would there be even more movement?

It's a tough time for all, no doubt. However, we do need to recognize that all of these student-athletes did not have an entire season, half a season, or even a quarter of a season taken away from them. It is/was a two-week stretch, some of whom it might have been one game, others it could be up to seven games. They still were given the opportunity to play a majority of their senior/last seasons.

It's hard, but the easiest/best solution, unfortunately, will probably to just move forward next year and recognize this time in sports/world history as a tragic effect of a global pandemic.
