Does not surprise me that the issues of liability would not come up with a non-revenue sport as it is a much taller hurdle to say it was in the school's interest to 'pressure' an athlete to play when there was no monetary benefit back to the school and the athlete is guaranteed their scholarship if they play or not. Very different for P5 football.
Here is an article, including specific 'what-if' references to how things would play out in Wisconsin (amongst other states): https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/l...tball-in-2020/
Also, and I have seen this on many athletic forums, with the lack of sport to talk about (remember when we would simply discuss the state of a women's hockey program, what they need to do to turn things around, how exciting this or that player will be?) bringing everyone together of different backgrounds and values, how quickly things turn nasty (especially political) when the common thread bringing everyone together (the sport) is no longer there. I really fear what kind of societal changes will result if this is indeed a true 'new normal'.
