What is the difference between a sport club and a varsity athletic program?
Sport clubs are organized and managed by students. They are funded by the Student Government Association, club fundraisers and membership dues. Clubs compete against other university club teams across the Midwest. Varsity athletic sports are housed in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, funded by Athletics, and compete in NCAA competition.
All sport clubs are student-run. All clubs are organized and led by students of Towson University. The clubs range in nature from recreational/instructional to competitive. While varsity athletic sports are funded by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and compete in the NCAA, the Sport Club Organization is funded by the Student Government Association and funds raised by each club.
