Friday evening the Big 12 conference released more guidance to their teams on what exactly it would take for COVID-19 to cancel a game.

This comes shortly after news that TCU would be postponing their game against SMU to a not determined date. The game was originally scheduled for Sept 11.

The conference says that a total of 53 healthy players must be available for a game to happen. This is out of the total number of roster players which would include walk-ons.

In a statement from the conference, they lay out additional details:

Additional minimum thresholds of available players were also established for offensive linemen (7), interior defensive linemen (4) and quarterback (1).
