The NCAA said umpires are no longer to forfeit a game, rather (as Bob said), let the conference and NCAA sort it out. This was done to help deal with games where brawls broke out - in the good old days if you got enough ejections the game was a forfeit. Now, no matter how many ejections you get, you do not declare a forfeit. You just stop the game and report it to the appropriate NCAA, conference, and school athletic directors. They then have the option of "staggering" suspensions so games can continue to be played (since suspensions for brawling are multiple game suspentions).
