NCAA is considering giving fall athletes an extra year of eligibility. The Division 1 Council met on Wednesday and approved a proposal that would grant fall athletes an extra year, no matter if they play a 2020-21 season or not.

Sports Illustrated host Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by SI's writer Ross Dellenger for more on the proposal and what it means for NCAA collegiate athletes.
