    Jordan Goldwire’s senior season has yet to begin! However, it will begin on November 25th but will it be his last?

    Right now I don’t know the answer to that question but I do know is that seniors are going to get a fifth year of eligibility.

    Why?

    Because of the Coronavirus that is currently affecting us in the United States and around the world the NCAA has granted an extra of eligibility to winter athletes! “according to an article by Dan Murphy on espn.com
