Hope the Jimmy Faithful got through this spell of humidity. Hope the town is in the 21st Century and they have air conditioning.

I meant Jamestown - but yeah, MSU could hypothetically do it too if they wanted. Like you said though, there's no real point unless others joined in.

I think MSU is in a decent spot that they could add it and not mess with Title IX, but I could be wrong.

However I'm guessing they would only do it if there are 4 other schools able/willing to add it so the NSIC can sponsor it

They're recognized - it's on the club list: List Of Groups

Most schools don't give real estate to club sports on the athletic website since they don't usually fall under the jurisdiction of the athletic department.

It would be a bear of a project but they could add men's soccer as a varsity sport like St. Cloud. That would be an awful travel schedule though.

I see MSU has a Club Soccer team. Plays against the U and mostly D3 schools. Must not be sponsored by the school as they use a Google website.

I see Minot has a club soccer team listed on their athletics page, who's schedule includes Augie and Wayne.

I wonder what kind of sport a school could add alongside soccer that's cheap to accommodate Title IX? Lacrosse? I know CSP has it

Thank you. I'll put those hash tags to good use this coming season. Any school that honored Louis L'Amour with a PhD is alright by me. Jamestown's hometown literary hero. I love westerns and his books are my favorite in that genre.

There was a lot of dislike for Jamestown earlier in this thread and it's inspired to root for them when they begin D2 play this season. And even though orange is my least favorite color I say...Go Jimmies!

Are these JV players on the regular team that get no playing time?

Typically no. Certainly can’t speak for all schools and how they handle it, but it is usually a separate roster completely.

[vikingfaithful]

JV rosters are enrollment boosters (not saying that as a bad thing by any means). You notice when looking at the schedules what they tend to all have in common. It’s similar to intramurals/club sports versus other schools in most cases. But also great for people who want to keep playing and stay competitive while going to school. Can also provide structure for some who still need that in order to be a successful student, as well.

I don't think that's true anymore. I believe they ended that like 5 years ago.

That's what I thought as well. Not a heavy schedule at 14 games.
