No Mens Soccer?!

<p>I was on Rice's athletics website and noticed they do not have a mens soccer team listed. Is this correct? How can this be? With their endowment, surely cost isnt the issue. I cant imagine in this day and age that lack of interest is the reason either.</p>

<p>Any comments as to why this is would be appreciated. If this is my technical oversight pls let me know.</p>

<p>Rice doesn't have men's soccer. However, it does have club soccer and College soccer.</p>

<p>It seems that Rice students are much more interested in participating in sports than in observing sports. Club teams, intermural and pickup games are all popular.</p>

<p>They dont have anything for women's golf that I can find</p>

<p>Honestly, it's not that uncommon for a school to have a women's soccer team but no men's team. Even Texas A&M, a huge public school, has no men's team if I remember correctly. A lot of it has to do with equivalence between men's and women's sports.</p>

<p>What?! No men's soccer team??? Eh...I guess I'll be okay. I'll be playing more than I'd be watching anyway =&lt;/p>

<p>It's called Title IX, colleges have to have equal # of mens and womens teams I believe.</p>

<p>yeah westsidewolf is right one of the guys on the club team told me that's why</p>

<p>Do not freight. Even though we don't have Men's Soccer, intramural soccer is popular and not overlooked.</p>
