Got to remember these are just the spring sports.
For us, that includes
Baseball (11.7)
Softball (12 men)
Golf (4.5 men, 6 women)
Tennis (4.5 men, 8 women)
Track and Field (12.6 men, 18 women)
By my count, that is 77 scholarships of which approximately one-quarter would be about 20 total. I think we will be OK adding 20 scholarships for a year but you are right, it might impact other schools.
For reference, these are the other spring sports
Lacrosse (12.6 men, 12 women)
Rowing (20 women)
Volleyball (4.5 men, 12 women)
Water polo (4.5 men, 8 women)

Interested to see how this affects softball. With Eberle being a grad transfer senior, would she even want to come back? We also have a freshman pitcher that thew a no hitter a few weeks ago. How is she going to feel going into her sophomore year, when she expected to be our ace, but has to sit the bench another year?
I expect her to come back, but you never know...she might be ready to move on. Gabby wasn’t going to pitch this year anyway due to injury so I’m assuming she’ll get a medical redshirt along with Taylor Tuck. Mattie just wasn’t ready at first, but she was turning the corner and was going make her official debut in the cowgirl classic before the pandemic. Talent is isn’t the issue. She’s the hardest thrower on the team, and has a chance to be a star along with Maxwell..but repeating her mechanics was the issue. One thing that’s certain is this team is has arms in the circle to make a run to a championship.

Didn’t know Mattie Boyd was going to make her debut. When I was at the OSU/Tulsa invitational, i talked to few of the parents and what I understood is that she was redshirting.
I am disappointed that the season ended due to this pandemic. This season was very encouraging for our softball squad to win the Big 12. Yes I liked our chances. Texas is better than last yr but I’m not buying stocks in them. With OU, their hitting is way down. They are forcing girls to completely change their hitting techniques that effecting those certain hitters production and confidence. On top of that, their AA pitcher was going to miss the yr due to arm injury.
I love this past season schedule. I hope Coach G, takes it a step further. If I remember right, when the season was called, OSU RPI was 8th in the nation. Only Texas in the Big 12 was higher(3rd). OU setting at 14.

redshirting was the plan for her...but she was turning the corner to the point where Coach was seriously thinking about burning it and pitching her that weekend.
We had a serious chance of winning the league. Texas is legit and would have been a challenge, but beatable. They can rake 1-9, and them beating UCLA and Washington wasn’t a fluke.
In terms of OU, they lost their core and were playing freshman. They were also dealing with a lot of injuries, which is why their hitting is down. Mendes was coming off a torn ACL in the fall, Rylee Boone (Trevor Boone’s sister) injured her knee in the 1st week of the season and was out indefinitely. Taylor Snow (auburn transfer) was injured as well. Their pitching staff is filled with freshman that were struggling expect Shannon shaile and giselle Juarez. Shaile is good, but she’s very hittable despite her throwing gas. We did a number on her when she was a freshman at FIU in the Florida regional several years ago.
i really thought we could make a serious run in okc. Just have to wait another year.

Bumping this thread back up, at this point in time there's really no guarantee of a college football season this fall. At least, apparently that's what is being said by some people. That would certainly change the financial equation of extending scholarships. Hope we don't see that but making any decision right now is a shot in the dark.

No extra year for BB players.
"The NCAA announced it would not extend an extra year of eligibility to winter sports participants, which includes men’s and women’s basketball as well as ice hockey for both sexes. Athletes in spring sports, who lost their entire season (such as baseball and softball), will get that added year of eligibility. The Division I Council “members declined to extend eligibility for student-athletes in sports where all or much of their regular seasons were completed,” the NCAA said in a statement."
