Collegiate boxing

Was it ever a big thing? Did anyone follow it? Seems to be virtually a non-existent thing now perhaps due to potential legal issues. We had a boxing team when I was in college back in the 80s.

Mostly military schools will have them. Don't see a lot others but I'm sure there has to be a decent amount out there. Just not like there used to be.

Why didn’t they cancel football when a player died?

I hate the NCAA.

True. But what about this? In 2012, the United States Intercollegiate Boxing Association (USIBA) was formed and hosted the first National Championships for women alongside a men's division. The first USIBA Championships were hosted at the University of San Francisco in 2013

How come it never got national attention?

I think that's intramural level. Plus pro boxing barely gets any attention, let alone the amateurs. Intramural college boxing is even further down the list.

Three local colleges box out of my gym, they have club teams. Ours is an amateur boxing gym, though, so we align more easily
