In 1916 there were only 4 varsity sports; Football, Basketball, Track, and Cross Country. Everything else was played at the Intramural level. Women's sports were governed not by the Athletic Department, but by "Women's Athletic Association." This association was fully funded by $0.25 annual dues from it's 386 members, and from ticket sales to the Basketball tournament.
For this week's #TBT I'll cover the four varsity sports (plus baseball!). Tune in next week as I review Intramural sports from 1916, and in two weeks when I cover Women's sports 100 years ago at Minnesota.
Since 1916 was a century ago it might help to give some context.
