Of eligibility? I'm torn on this, part of me says yes because they were wronged, however at the same time Duke University has to take some of the blame here. They suspended the kids (not the NCAA) and canceled their season before any type of conviction was made. Also, the players played in nearly half of the regular season games that were scheduled, most of the time to get a hardship waiver you have to play in 20% or less of the games. Do the kids deserve another year? Yes. Did the University mess the entire thing up by over-reacting from the start? Yes. I just dont see how you could give them an extra year of elgibilty and be fair about it. There were seniors who were charged with nothing on that team and had their season canceled as well. If you give the accussed an extra year you might as well give the whole team an extra year. Then, you've got a huge mess in terms of scholarship money, students staying enrolled in school even after completing a degree, etc.
