If manufactures and sponsors got behind this as hard as they do paying Lil Johnny jumper that "might" be the next big thing a 6 figure income at 10 years old (I'm not bashing that these lil dudes get payed it's awesome for them and there family) I'm just saying it would be cool to see something happen. keep kids in school rather than out on homeschool programs to chase there moto dreams. And maybe you get a ride for college MX or you go straight to SX/ MX. Probably a dream but it would be awesome!
This picture is just one of the many highschools around me and there is no lack of space for a moto track but that's my moto maniac opinion
When you crowdsource an engineering problem to a bunch of ambitious students, there is a lot of potential gain for relatively little investment.
In terms of the riders, I have no idea, but isn't Cody Webb graduating soon with his mechanical engineering degree? Maybe some diamonds in the rough to find in terms of riders.

Cody Webb: College Interview
I think the list of pro MX/SX racers enrolled in college is very short. There are a few MX/SX privateer racers that are in college, mostly taking online courses. I know John Short is enrolled taking online courses in Texas. I think Dustin Pipes takes online courses majoring in business finance and pre-law. As far as I know, Josh is the only pro currently attending a major university full-time.
New rulebook: Bikes have to be stock, no aftermarket products allowed. Teams can however modify the bikes with upgrades engineered by students (and only by students), with no limits to the modifications except for a maximum cost of materials.
Not going to happen but i would imagine you'd end up with some pretty exotic bikes. And bigger interest in mx.
I am Cody Mao. I just recently stumbled across this forum post and saw that there were recent posts from January. I am the current President and Founder of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebel MX Club. I am not sure how many members on here are university attending members that are current dirt bike riders but it would be awesome to see more motocrosss popping up at other Universities. Our dirt bike club was formed to grow the dirt bike riding community on our campus and to teach new members how to ride dirt bikes. We just recently got recognized by our university as a student organization and received 1000 dollars to buy a learner dirt bike to teach new members how to ride. We just put on our first Learn How to Ride Day where we taught three students at our campus who were brand new to riding how to ride a dirt bike. Check out the video we produced from the event at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKs7XlaKtMc.
We would love to help other riders across the nation to create dirt bike clubs at their universities. It would be awesome to put together a collegiate competition or even a collegiate ride dayseries where each university club puts on their own ride or race day and the other schools come to compete or ride. Two of our members also are mechanical engineers who are current members of SAE Baja and it would be great if we could get enough schools to start our own clean / innovative dirt bike competition through SAE.
Let us know what you guys think and give our facebook and instagram a look.

Having said that, it could be a club team. Club teams exist in all types of scenarios from fishing to rugby, etc. I went to a top ten profitable university, and if you werent one of the "big" sports then the best you could ever hope for when adding a new sport, is club status. Club teams are small and money losing propositions, or they would be considered. Very little interest equals very little money, which leads to very little interest in outside company financial support. It doesnt mean they cant be fun and cool though!
For fishing, my son is on the accepted list for Mississippi States Bass team. He doesnt graduate for another year but he can pull a bass out of a ditch it seems like
Pit Row
Here's a video I found from one of the races. Pretty crappy quality for today's standards, but it's cool to see the football practice field getting torn up. Lol
