Much like everything in 2020, roster planning even for the near future is a bit nebulous.
After the Gophers football team s 3-4 season, in which it missed two games during a COVID-19 outbreak and struggled with depth, the program needs all the help it can muster. And, in a 2020 rarity, it has some help from the football gods.
The NCAA passed two key pandemic-related rules earlier this year that will make this offseason very intriguing. First, every player earned an extra year of eligibility to make up for shortened, delayed or even canceled seasons.

Bowl games were once a coveted postseason honor, with teams clamoring to finish with at least six wins just to make the Idaho Potato Bowl or the Duke s Mayo Bowl.
But that was before 2020. After a year that has tested teams depth, tried their patience and tensed their nerves, many college football teams have called it quits early. Including the Gophers.
The Gophers announced Sunday morning they would not seek nor accept a bowl invite after dropping 20-17 in overtime at Wisconsin on Saturday, ending the regular season at 3-4. With 4-5 Penn State having opted out Saturday night, the Gophers could have made a low-tier bowl even with their losing record since the NCAA did not set bowl eligibility requirements for this pandemic year.
