The heart thing seems relevant.
If I'm an admin and I see a "rare" condition already present in 5 athletes, I have to at least consider what my career looks like if we proceed and someone dies.

A rare heart condition that could be linked with the coronavirus is fueling concern among Power 5 conference administrators about the viability of college sports this fall.
Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, has been found in at least five Big Ten Conference athletes and among several other athletes in other conferences, according to two sources with knowledge of athletes' medical care.
The condition is usually caused by a viral infection, including those that cause the common cold, H1N1 influenza or mononucleosis. Left undiagnosed and untreated, it can cause heart damage and sudden cardiac arrest, which can be fatal. It is a rare condition, but the COVID-19 virus has been linked with myocarditis with a higher frequency than other viruses, based on limited studies and anecdotal evidence since the start of the pandemic.

Myocarditis is very often found in young athletes.
Plenty of research on it pre-covid.
There is no proof that the myocarditis was caused by covid.

Myocarditis is both treatable and temporary

I think it's more of a long term liability issue for the colleges and athletic departments -- especially now that they know and it's out in the public literature.
If they go forward and hundreds of kids get myocarditis, the lawsuits that will come will make the NFL's CTE lawsuits look like nuisance suits. And, they'll go on for YEARS. The money that will be paid out will dwarf any revenue that will be lost if the season is cancelled for a year (or even two).
