The Big 12 is finalizing plans to restore its policy stating that games impacted by COVID-19 would become "no contests" games, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.
If the league restores its policy, it would eliminate the need for teams to forfeit games. If teams across the league—for both men and women's basketball—fail to have six scholarship players and one coach, the game would be deemed a no contest and both teams would work to reschedule the contest.
According to Dellenger, medical groups and athletic directors from other conferences—including the Pac 12 and the SEC—are exploring the possibility of changing their policy in lieu of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
