Cal football game cancelled because of a confirmed positive COVID case on the team.

53 scholarship rule.  Does any other conference have that rule?

FWIW, not the 53 scholarship rule. Cal would have only 2 DL available for the game, below the "allowed" limit of 4. I sure as hell wouldn't play the game with only 2 DL.

The SEC has the 53 scholarship rule too, as does the Big 12. Less than 53 means you don't have to play. Mississippi State opted to play anyway with 48ish.
