There seems to be a lot of confusion about how the 2020-2021 "COVID season" impacted eligibility. The rule was never "everyone gets an extra year" which is what, for example, Banghart (on behalf of Ivy Leaguers) and Notre Dame fans (on behalf of Dodson) have been claiming. Rather, it was that the COVID season would not count against anyone's eligibility whether you played that season or not. Lots of media sources have also been using the "extra year" language because it's quicker and easier to understand than getting into the technicalities of eligibility clocks, etc. But it's not exactly accurate, which has created perceived unfairnesses.

Now, it's perfectly fine to argue about whether the NCAA policy is sensible or not, which is a separate question. But at the very least, the NCAA has applied their rule consistently.

As for Abby Meyers, this decision doesn't change the fact that she still has a year of eligibility. She has only played 2017-2018, 2019-2020, and 2021-2022.

As for Littlefield -- sorry but she wasn't getting drafted.
