GW Hoops / Who gets extra COVID eligibility year?

Could Lindo, Adams, and Bishop come back next year to play at GW and not count against scholarship limit? How does it work?

"All student-athletes whose 2020-2021 season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will now get 6 years to compete in 4 full seasons of their sport in college."

If I'm understanding it right, since Bishop and Lindo were at GW in 2020-21, if they choose to stay at GW next year, they would not count against scholarship limit but Adams might since he was at UConn in 2020-21?

The A10 board scholarship google sheet will need some updating...https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QgSo3xymzu43nF20xkXOkJ3ESDx8NPg1fen0PQ1fGuY/edit?usp=drivesdk

Only Bishop of Lindo, Bishop and Adams has another year.

Adams and Lindo will be completing their fourth “full” season this year so they will be out of eligibility. They each played in 2020 as well but that year is not considered a “full year”.

Bishop will have one more year of eligibility but will have completed four years of school and may simply choose to graduate.

Dean also has another year.

It would appear Clark would have two years of eligibility as well.

I think he played two years at community college, one "full season" at Alabama St. and one at GW, so that would mean he's out of eligibility.
