The ACC ADs voted to modify the COVID-19 forfeiture policy

The sports universe as of late has been in shambles thanks to players across many different leagues having widespread COVID-19 outbreaks. The NHL decided to shut the season down temporarily, but the NBA is still trying to play through the pain, making teams sign players to fill their roster and keep the show going. As far as the NCAA goes, there’s been no word of any stoppage, but we at least now know what the plan is for the ACC.

Yesterday it was announced that the ACC ADs voted to eliminate the COVID-19 forfeit policy. What this means is that teams will no longer be able to forfeit games, which is largely thanks to a number of cancellations that have already taken place this season.
