OT: Pac-12 & Big East hand out wins/losses due to forfeited hoop games from Covid

[Knight_Light]

Does anyone know if the AAC has a policy for canceled conf hoop games this year?

Aresco had a policy for Football...no clue if Omicron will make him change his stance for hoops. (NOTE: I think: If game is cancelled AFTER a visiting team has already traveled for a game, host team should pay for those travel expenses).



Big East and Pac-12 already docked 2 teams with forfeit losses (and wins) involving two early conf games...as these will count for conf standings and will impact conf tournament seedings.

Impact of canceled games​

The cancellations have impacts for intra-conference games, as leagues have instituted forfeit rules for the 2021-22 season. Seton Hall was incapable of playing St. John's this forthcoming Tuesday, so the Big East stuck to its code agreed to in the fall and docked the Pirates with a loss in league play, while St. John's started 1-0 in the conference due to the SHU forfeit. The same thing happened earlier this month in the Pac-12 when Washington was incapable of finding a makeup game vs. UCLA, so the Huskies were assessed a forfeit and UCLA was given a win in the conference standings.

Forfeits are not recognized officially by the NCAA selection committee, so any games not played as initially scheduled will not be reflected on team sheets.
