sounds like if you have 7 or more scholarship players you have to play- no wiggle room at all on that it sounds like it. No matter if they are significant or not.
What if players are out for the season, or even just injured and unable to play that game, or maybe redshirting? By definition, are they available? Possible that a coach could bend the rules and state that players are unavailable for reasons that push them below the seven player threshold.
I would guess that things like that would be monitored by the league and if a team were proven to be lying about that could then be charged with a forfeit. Also- I'd guess all positives would be tracked by the league along with vaccine status.
