This makes sense to me. Blanket rule, no matter what, this year doesn't count toward your eligibility.

That makes it harder on incoming Frosh next year but still, all things considered, the least amount of pain, maximum flexibility.

They should also have expanded rosters.

Good chance to redshirt a player for an Olynyk Clinic.

I think this is a good decision by the NCAA. This will give some current players (not just seniors) options to continue their careers, and that's a good thing. But it is also going to create hard feelings in some programs. This doesn't guarantee roster spots or scholarships, and that will make for some hard decisions by coaches.
