This may have been asked before if it has can you link me to it. What I want to know is roughly how many college cheer programs are considered a sport by athletics at their school? Also is it common to not be considered a sport

we are not considered a sport at my school. big reason, probably the only reason why we can't do stunt... they don't want to recognize us as a sport. biggest reason for that? i'm sure its funding. we get absolutely no money from the university for our program.

We are a Coed team but the NAIA is still in the emerging status. Our college views cheer as a sport and the entire NAIA cheer sport structure is being developed by our conference cheer tournament. They are looking at basing the sport status off of STUNT. This does not benefit us since we are Coed. Again this is all talks right now. They have also looked at the NCATA version. If the NAIA goes this route we hope to add an all girl or STUNT team in the near future. Our scholarship structure is already set up similar to other athletic teams and we are funded by the school.I am also from an NAIA school we are currently not considered a sport. Is your team all-girl or coed?
ShoWStoppeR can you help us? We are trying to figure out if Slippery Rock is particicpating in STUNT, we are sending out college applications and are trying to narrow down potential choices/fit. Thanks!ok, we are totally confused...when you go to collegestunt.org and you click on videos..first you see the video for high school stunt. then the video plays for 2012 stunt. slippery rock is one of the team names they flash across the screen....????
I am also from an NAIA school. I specifically asked what would happen to the coed teams and the dance teams if STUNT is the chosen format for NAIA. The person I talked to said they are working on developing a form of STUNT for coed and dance.We are a Coed team but the NAIA is still in the emerging status.

Your AD has to declare your team Varsity status as well.
I am in conference calls almost weekly with the NAIA, NCA, and numerous NAIA cheer coaches and this is not in the talks on our end yet. We are still looking at making the STUNT option a sport for the all girl component. The issue a lot of coaches are having is the cost of operating the team. This is a huge expense for smaller schools.I am also from an NAIA school. I specifically asked what would happen to the coed teams and the dance teams if STUNT is the chosen format for NAIA.

We are probably in those conference calls together (This Tuesday?). I had a discussion with my athletic director about the future of competitive cheer and if we might transition to STUNT, so I went back and asked specifically about coed and dance.I am in conference calls almost weekly with the NAIA, NCA, and numerous NAIA cheer coaches and this is not in the talks on our end yet.

probably because we did it last year. we did a "tournament" last minute to be the last team to like support their petition or whatever to help make it official and what not. yeah, i totally sound like i know what i'm saying right now lol but yes, we are up there because we did participate last year and planned on doing it again this year until we found out we won't be allowed to.
