Game forfeiture

Post by JamesVincent »

What would happen if someone scheduled a football game and the other team didn't show? This would happen:

Grambling players didn't board the buses to go to Jackson State Friday afternoon. Grambling was originally scheduled to leave at 2:30 p.m. CT but no players showed up. The school said the departure time had been pushed back to 3:30 p.m., but after that deadline, there were still no players in sight. At 3:50 p.m., the buses left the lot empty.

Unless the team not having the opposition show up was your favorite team to hate.

In that case, the abandoned team would win 3-2.
