College football teams must complete the regular season with a record of .500 or better in order to be considered bowl eligible. The oversight committee is recommending that requirement be waived this season as scheduled have been shortened and some teams may be unable to play in the postseason amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
A football team meeting the mandatory minimum Academic Progress Rate (APR) score will be the only determining factor in whether it is eligible for a bowl game this season, according to the committee’s recommendations. The NCAA Division I Council will have the final as it needs to approve the recommendation next month.
“Providing a more flexible framework for the postseason in this unprecedented time will provide some certainty moving forward,” West Virginia athletic director and Football Oversight Committee chair Shane Lyons said in a statement. “These are important postseason opportunities for our student-athletes, and this will help everyone to prepare.”
