If both teams are unable to play in a game due to COVID-19 outbreaks, the game will be considered a no contest.

The Big Ten follows the lead of many other conferences which had already announced similar forfeiture policies for the 2021-22 season, including the ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC.

Asked about the new policy after practice on Monday, Day said he hadn't seen it yet but was hopeful that Ohio State would not be in a situation where it would have to forfeit a game.

“I don’t know what to think of all that, to be honest with you,” Day said. “Hope it doesn’t happen.”
