Just a observation, if you're on a bass boat fishing team, don't complain about the cost of college.
The "high-risk" activities seem like things where you have a higher potential of an injury needing trained medical attention like broken bones or torn ligaments. Things that can take place on campus are much easier to do immediate first aid and call an ambulance. Something like cross country skiing can take you more out in the middle of nowhere and the person responsible for doing the initial first aid isn't able to even see everybody all the time. A hockey player losing a finger to a skate blade is less of a risk to the school than a compound leg fracture on somebody laying out in the woods.
The fishing thing is strictly a boat issue and I can understand why ISU is a little afraid of boats. The one that seems odd to me is cycling. I would think that should be in the high risk category.
Is all this a lot of worry over unlikely events? Sure, but when you just had students die I can see being a little nervous.
OMG. Seriously? I played the sport for over 40 years and never even came close to that experience...total. If you truly have experienced that, there are two things which are terribly wrong: 1. The officiating or 2. the training. So, in your case, you need to focus on better coaching and better officiating.
Where does “Cuffs”, the BDSM Club, fall in the risk matrix? Asking for a friend
Injuries in Youth Soccer
Injury rates in youth soccer, known as football outside the United States, are higher than in many other contact/collision sports and have greater relative numbers in younger, preadolescent players. With regard to musculoskeletal injuries, young females tend to suffer more knee injuries, and...
Someone should probably inform the NFL (quickly) that CTE can be avoided with better officiating.
I get the simple reaction, but this is going to be a pretty significant cost savings to the university as well. Pretty shocked it hasn't happened sooner, but I expect more to be cut from the other High Risk category soon too.
I think that just means you don't have the speed and explosiveness to tear an ACL while changing directions.
Geeez. The excuses never stop. I'll admit I wouldn't consider myself 'explosive', but Division I outside of college for 14 years tends to say I was doing something right. Maybe I just trained correctly, was coached correctly, was smart enough, or just plain lucky. I'll take the 'I was just smart enough not to put myself in those situations'. If I ever did get in a predicament it meant one thing: I had the ball too long. And that's an ego issue 90% of the time. Plenty of space on the pitch. Next!
You're confused. I'm talking about soccer. Football is a completely different matter of which I totally agree with you. That aside, if you show me a soccer player with CTE, I will definitely begin to reconsider.
Well, the broken cheek bone happened away from the ball as did a couple of the ACL tears.
It's true. I am easily confused when coaches instructing from the sideline and officials blowing whistles magically cause concussions, broken bones, and torn ligaments in athletes. Because I am not a warlock.
With Iowa State having lower total enrollment, the university is looking to reduce expenses across the board. So it only makes sense to look to reduce the number of sports clubs due to the lower amount of student funds.
Looking at the list of activities the High Risk Not Supported seem to be activities that you have to travel off campus to participate in for both practice or competition or are actually high risk (rodeo). The high risk supported seem to be activities that have fields or facilities on campus to practice but travel off campus for competition and are 'larger team sports' requiring more transportation.

If fishing is high risk, I am totally using that as a bar pickup line from here on out. Just tell all the girls " you know I fish right?" I am kind of a daredevil like that. Yeah yeah I also skydive, Paramotor, climb mountains, run ruck races, but fishing is the real risky stuff.
