One day after it was announced Boston College men’s basketball would be forced to forfeit their game at Wake Forest due to COVID issues within the team, commonsense prevailed and the ACC voted to eliminate the COVID forfeit rule. They also made the application of this retroactive, so BC’s “loss” to Wake is off the books. The Eagles are once again undefeated in ACC play!
Breaking: The ACC ADs just voted to rescind the league's forfeit rule, a source tells @CBSSports, effecitve immediately.
The league will also move to the “seven-and-one” rule, meaning a team will have to play if it has seven players and one coach available.
