The AD from Notre Dame was on Golic and Wingo (ESPN radio) this morning and they asked him about spring sports and the extra year of eligibility. Each school will be different but at ND he said it will be up to the coaches of each sport to decide how to handle it, with 3 parameters:
1. The student athlete must complete their undergraduate degree within 4 years.
2. They must apply to, be accepted and enroll in a graduate program at the school.
3. The coaches will build their teams within the confines of their budgets, with the athletes getting the same, less or no financial package.
