In response to palestra38
In fairness, Boston/Massachusetts, has experienced significant challenges with COVID which would make Harvard very cautious, perhaps more cautious than the majority of IL universities. But, there is a element of politics that probably comes into play with Harvard and other IL schools based on their culture.
I would not have been surprised if Harvard and perhaps one other IL school would have taken a pass if 6 other schools were willing to give it try but it is understandable that you need to have all teams in a conference participate or not.
It appears that cancellations due to COVID has slowed down over the past few days but who knows for sure where this is going but the IL could have certainly given it the old college try. They could have shut it down if need be.
