NCAA D1 dead period extended through December

Rotten for 2021s and 2022s trying to get recruited.
Will also likely result in the cancellation of any showcase-type event intended to be held between now and next year.

No recruiting until 2025. But at least we’re in this together!

I'll be curious to see whether this results in continued cancellations of fall showcases. While I can understand the logic behind conducting regular season schedules in GA and ECNL this fall, even while the majority of NCAA leagues are not operating, showcases are different. At a showcase, the risks rise pretty significantly just due to the volume of personal contacts both on the field, and off.

Notwithstanding any judgments on whether the risks are acceptable or not, it would seem inconsistent that the NCAA sees too much risk to their campuses from on and off campus recruiting activities, but youth leagues and families would continue to support them.
