All teams agreed the covid rules. It isn’t a forfeit, they postpone the game


Thanks. I figured there might be some special COVID rules (whatever that is).

But that begs the question....what are these rules? Specially what happens if a team isn’t healthy enough to play more than one game? How would that play out since there is only one make-up game date? At what point does a team not having a healthy enough team turn into a forfeit or whatever term they want to use ?

For COVID, basically never. The games are declared no contest, or rescheduled by the SEC commissioner.

There will end up being an extra week to the regular season and most teams wont have a planned bye week. The games wont all get played unless the former happens

Usually lurk and never post. Hopefully I've got this formatted right for your forum software.

To play a football game, the SEC has established minimum thresholds of at least 53 scholarship players available to participate and the following minimum number of position scholarship players available to begin a game: seven (7) offensive linemen (which includes one center), one (1) quarterback and four (4) defensive linemen. The impacted institution has the option to play the game with fewer than the 53 scholarship players or fewer than the minimum number of position players listed above if it elects to do so. Otherwise, upon approval by the Commissioner, the game would be rescheduled or declared a no contest.
