<p>Is it true that crew is a club sport at Northwestern–i.e., that we have to pay extra to participate? Can someone give me an idea of how much it costs? Is there a fall and a spring season?</p>
<p>men’s crew is a club sport at a lot of schools esp. if football/bball get alot of money. that’s because of Title IX which has to equalize funds for women. so women’s crew is varsity but not men’s at many schools. </p>
<p>teams do fundraising and other events. you can probably contact someone on crew thru the athletic website rather than here.
good luck</p>
<p>The team funds most of its endeavors by working concessions at FB and BB games and having fundraisers.</p>
<p>And yes - there is a Fall and Spring season.</p>
<p>Over Spring break, the team usually heads down to Texas to train.</p>
