53 players-play or forfeit
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...-o-linemen

Big 12 doesn't think you need 100 man or 85 man rosters to play.

"...In order to account for student-athletes who will have to miss games because of positive coronavirus tests, contact tracing and regular injuries, the Big 12 determined on Friday that teams with at least 53 players available -- including seven offensive linemen, four interior defensive linemen and one quarterback -- must play or it will be considered a forfeit.

If teams have fewer than 53 players available and don't meet the position benchmarks, the game would be declared a no contest if it can't be moved to a later date. Teams that fall below 53 players -- but are still able to meet the position benchmarks -- have the option to play the game...."

RE: 53 players-play or forfeit
Not a good start so far. 3 games out of the 5 for the first weekend were postponed. TCU-SMU for next week is postponed.
Only USA-USM and UAB-Central Arkansas have been played so far.

7 games are scheduled for this weekend. None postponed as of yet.

Smu had zero positives today. Tcu had 1/3 of their roster. No telling what’s going on in Ft Worth.

That is the problem, both teams have to come up clean, Games may go on, but cancel/delays are going to be common place.

We've been in school a week longer than you. Watch your cases continue to rise for a few weeks.
