Pac-12 says COVID-19 issues can result in forfeits in 2021
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pac-12 teams that cannot play because of COVID-19 issues will likely be forced to forfeit games this season.
The conference announced Thursday it is reinstituting its forfeiture policy after it modified its rules last season because of the pandemic.
Last season, a game that could not be played because of COVID-19 problems with either team was canceled and deemed no contest. This season, COVID-19 will not be automatically considered an excused absence.
A forfeit will count as a conference victory for a forfeiting team’s opponent.
