The Vanderbilt Commodores men's soccer represented Vanderbilt University in NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. The Commodores played as an associate member of the Missouri Valley Conference through 2005. [3]
The program was born in 1973 and was dropped in 2006. [1] The college cited Title IX as the reason for its decision. However, supporters of the team and some experts on the legislation said this was not necessary. [4] The decision caused outcry, with soccer players making petitions to resurrect the program. It was also revealed that men's soccer had low costs of operation. [1]
