People need to realize this is about worse case scenario, liability, and the school/ conference's ability to protect the student/ athlete. It doesn't look good if someone has to pay out in 10 years because long term effects of something caused because the school wanted to make a few bucks in 2020 happened.

This is spot-on and it's where the MVFC-only season hits potential snags. One does not have to go far to see the potential disparity in testing protocols that each MVFC school will find acceptable. It will track with program support. Then you need only consider one player (NDSU #5, for example, but any will do) and put yourself in ML’s shoes to see the difficulty of the situation with respect to liability.

It's not just the MVFC. This will be the next domino. Maybe the P5$ can pull it off.
