After a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, the American Athletic Conference revised its forfeit policy for league games this season in a release on Monday.
Originally, any AAC teams who failed to field a team were given a forfeit loss instead of a “no contest”. Now, teams will have the option to reschedule these postponed games, similar to last season.
The University of Houston was originally given a forfeit loss after their game with Cincinnati was postponed due to the number of players available for Houston. AAC Athletic Directors met on Monday opting to change the policy and the original forfeit loss for the Cougars.
