The ACC changed its COVID-19 protocols on Wednesday, changing the forfeit rule that had previously applied to teams unable to play a scheduled league game due to positive COVID-19 cases.
The new ACC rule stipulates that as long as a team has seven available scholarship players and one coach, they are deemed available to play. If a team does not have that number of participants, the game will be declared a no contest. Previously that had been a forfeit.
However, if a team does meet those requirements and decides not to play, the result would then be a forfeit.
