Happy Thursday Nova Nation! Jon Rothstein reported yesterday that the Big East is moving toward doing away with forfeits if a team goes on a COVID pause this season:
Sources: The Big East will reclassify forfeitures and try to reschedule games moving forward.

It’s the smart move given the new variants of COVID and how they can tear through even completely vaccinated teams. No one should be penalized for an illness they tried to prevent, and so I’m fully in favor of this move.
