<p>Does anyone have any info on this? Has there been any discussion about it? It seems it would be a better option for the women than playing on the men's team.</p>
<p>There aren’t enough women interested in soccer to that level of commitment to form a team, to my knowledge. However, that might soon change given the increasing proportion of women attending Caltech year by year. </p>
<p>A second reason would be that we’re in a recession. Given that athletics just took a 5% budget cut across the board, I’d doubt that they would add another sports team any time soon. Heck, MIT just cut 7(?) varsity sports teams, we’re lucky that we’re just keeping all the ones we currently have. Where did you get the idea that there would be a separate women’s varsity team next year?</p>
<p>But yes, it would probably be a better option for the women than playing on the men’s team.</p>
