Lynyrdsky1, a school's fishing club can assign whatever requirements they wish, but most Universities enforce that all students interested be able to join since it is a public school.

I would look into that if I were you. Email the club President and clarify the requirements.

I've emailed the president before but have never gotten a response

Sounds as if you'll have to track them down yourself. You can start by visiting Alabama's Faceboook Athletics page.

If I were you, I would leave a comment on their wall or message anyone that I can find. Tell them you are looking for the fishing club contact! http://www.facebook.com/home.#!/AlabamaAthletics

If this doesn't work, call the school's sports department. Someone should be able to get you in the right direction.

Best advice, choose a school based off of what you think your career plans are, get to that school, get a feel for how hard your classes and adjusting is going to be, then start looking for tournaments.

We had an issue with a guy that was in the service then came back. I believe we were able to get him qualified to fish. i believe little rules like this can be tweaked because its a newer sport in college series. So rules are still being set up and bent so that they are better to accomadate other people.
