Although a final decision has yet to be made, Missouri Valley Football Conference commissioner Patty Viverito has a pretty good idea where the league is heading this fall.
Viverito foresees forfeits instead of postponements and opt outs, and an increased focus on COVID-19 vaccinations among the 11 MVFC programs.
While Valley teams ran the gamut of South Dakota State advancing to May’s FCS national championship game to Indiana State deciding not to play at all in 2020 or the spring of 2021, Viverito yearns for at least somewhat of a return to normalcy this fall.
The spring season saw postponement and cancellations.
