Lightweight Rowers & the NCAA

If you think you might row in the US, then you need to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse. My understanding is that many colleges require athletes to register whether their sport is an NCAA sport or not, ie. Mens Rowing. Many lightweight rowing programs are a subset of the Varsity team, so you would need to go through the Clearinghouse to be eligible for those teams. It is not a big deal to register, why is it a discussion?
