I am in favor of not rescheduling cancelled games and using the Big East model where for conference standings the forfeiting team is given a loss and the non-forfeiting is given a win but it does not get put on the official NCAA sheets.  Rescheduling often gives one of the teams an advantage — particularly the team that had to forfeit.

if you have 8 healthy scholarship bodies that all test negative, you have enough to play.  I think some teams are forfeiting right now because they have enough bodies but don’t want to play because it’s their main players with Covid.

They learned from St John's playing w/out Champagnie and being upset by a lesser Pitt squad. The ACC just went with a policy that 7 scholarship players and a coach (head or assistant) as being enough for a game.

I agree with the ACC but might put it at 8 instead of 7.  St.John’s certainly still should have beaten Pitt — they were a 10 1/2 point favorite even without him.
