The Iowa State Risk Assessment team and University Counsel sent out these proposed categories of sports clubs into “low risk”, “high risk, supported” and “high risk, not supported”. In total they’re proposing cutting 14 club sports.
Iowa State cracking down on sports clubs

Smells like an insurance auditor got ahold of them.
Yeah looks like theyre getting out of the water game
Yeah, instead of helping to invest in safety for sports clubs, the university is just proposing to cut a lot of them instead.
That’s definitely high risk. Those nerds will cast a spell on your ass if you try and cut them.
Fishing is high risk?
There are numerous thing on the high risk list that shocked me
Fishing is high risk?
I thought the same thing. Proximity to water should not necessarily make it dangerous. Fishing is somehow more "dangerous" than hockey? Wrestling? (and I'm not saying those are dangerous)
Sad, but as stated, this is all about liability.
I would think ice fishing, right? Or maybe the boating aspect if it is out on the water?Fishing is high risk?
Please tell me they are not going to cut baseball again! 
I imagine a significant part of it is where these activities are. Most of the high risk activities are things that can't be done in Ames. Hockey is more dangerous than fishing is, but when hockey is played with trainers nearby or EMS minutes away vs the fishing club being on a lake in the middle of nowhere, the worst case for fishing might be worse.
