<p>"Men’s Rowing is currently a “Varsity Club Sport.” </p>
<p>That is how UM puts it. Men’s Rowing is not an NCAA varsity sport for some unknown reason–probably Title IX related. It has its own national championships at the IRA Regatta. I think calling it a “club” sport is not really accurate in the typical sense of club sports as low-key “fun” affairs. It’s a serious sport with national/international recruiting, travel and high level coaching and facilities at most schools that compete in it at a high level.
The difference from other “NCAA sports” is more semantic than real.</p>
