Messes up recruiting, roster spots, scholarships, etc. Sucks, but it's time to move on.

If their true intent was to do what's in the best interest of the players, and also to grow the game, giving everyone another year is the best short term way to do that.

They would need to make sure they make accommodations for scholarship numbers and roster size, as well. And that's where they will get pushback from the conferences (the ADs, not the coaches).

But given that MLB is trying to downsize the minors, this is the quick way for the NCAA to build up the quality of play around the country and help draw interest in the product.

Give everyone a year back, allow for a one time transfer, raise the scholarship and roster caps.

But two power conferences (my guess are Big Ten and Pac 10) were against any sort of relief altogether. If it is those two conferences in particular, I don't think any relief goes through.
