Speaking with reporters at the KU team hotel in Boulder shortly after Tuesday’s scheduled game at Colorado was canceled because of multiple positive COVID-19 tests in the CU program, Self said he did not see any way the conference could move forward with its existing policy of forcing a team that suffers from a COVID outbreak to forfeit a game.
“That will change,” Self said Tuesday night. “I’m not going to say positively what the policies will be, but there’s no way, in my opinion, that you can have that policy in conference play with the thought that this can happen to anybody anytime like this.”
By Wednesday morning, a report from SI.com's Ross Dellenger indicated that the Big 12 was on the brink of "restoring policies that deem COVID-19-impacted games "no contests" instead of forfeits.
