Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic also tweeted about this topic citing a source that also supports eligibility relief for spring sports. This could result in athletes from spring sports being granted an additional year of eligibility.
Per source, NCAA sent a note to membership today saying it believes "it will be appropriate to grant relief for the use of a season for competition for student-athletes who have participated in spring sports."

NCAA will start working on issues tied to this & winter athletes.
There is still no word on the NCAA's stance on eligibility for NCAA winter sports, including wrestling, but the NCAA's support of eligibility relief for spring sports leaves a glimmer of hope for NCAA wrestlers.
