NCAA grants waiver to athletes in Pavia's position

Is this applying to baseball as well? There has always been a ton of JC baseball movement. Will this change baseball recruiting, especially the recruitment of Freshmen?

It should based on the article's use of athletes. We've come a long way from the NCAA dinging Tommy Giles' last year of eligibility over a year of flight school.

It's probably not as impactful as it would have been a few years ago with the portal diminishing JUCO's importance, but might be a nice option knowing you wouldn't lose eligibility assuming the change becomes permanent.
