I know there's a petition going around to get the NCAA to
sanction Ultimate as an official sport.
A few questions leap to mind:
1. What are the real benefits to colleges and teams should
the sport be officially sanctioned? I'm guessing that
colleges could then choose whether or not to field teams?
2. If the NCAA started overseeing Ultimate as an official
sport, doesnt that screw USAU out of a ton of membership
dollars? Or, could USAU somehow still run the competition
aspect of the sport?
3. What are the real chances that the NCAA decides to
sanction a new sport? Are there actual procedures for doing
so?
Anyone out there with actual knowledge on the subject?

I'll just answer question #3 first.
In the next ten years: 3% chance/not gonna happen.
Ultimate is not a sanctioned sport for high school in any
state (unless that has changed since my last research). No
way the NCAA goes ahead of high school in sanctioning a
team/field sport like ultimate.

There is a possibility that in the next 10 years Women's
ultimate could make it into the NCAA Women's Emerging Sports
Program. That is how bowling and rifle made it to NCAA
status.
So, I guess I should qualify my previous statement. But, for
the guys...doesn't look good.

structured regular season, which leads into more structured
playoffs/conference championships.
a web site (NCAA) that less people complain about. a score
reporter that works better.

I thought high school Ultimate was sanctioned in some
states? Is that the same as being Varsity?
(Seeing as PADA has a high school league, I should probably
know more about this subject...)

Limited amount of practice time, limited amount of possible
practices, shorter season.

In most states HS Ultimate is an unsanctioned club sport. In
Wisconsin, the Madison HS League is basically self-running
with an assist from MUFA, while the State Tournament is run
through USA Ultimate. I imagine PADA runs the Philly HS
League, and USAU runs the PA State Tournament.
I think a couple of states have a different status.
Massachusetts and Washington may.
