But.......one question, what's the standard of knowing if a team can't play....? Basic volunteering to forfeit?

Pretty much. A team has to say Covid is so bad they can't play, but teams have no incentive to do that, so it seems very unlikely that there will be forfeits

For a moment I thought Frost had his "OUT" again OU. A covid forfeit wouldn't ruin the momentum as much as beatdown would....but then I realized this was for the conference only. I kid I kid.

I understand the OU jokes, but if that's the case then I'd be purely shocked and jaw on the floor if we had any forfeits in that case. Losses due to players down for COVID, okay, but no forfeits then.
