Here's an article talking about BYU men's soccer going pro and then


re-joining club status in 2017. FWIW BYU hasn't fielded a NCAA team since 1987 due to Title IX.

Here's a link to VT Club Sports Program. If you click on the "How to Become a Sport Club" link and then click on the "this guide" link, then you will see the requirements in order for a club team to be an affiliated club with VT. A reason Bass Fishing isn't an affiliated club is it doesn't satisfy the "Recognized, Emerging, and Olympic Sports" requirement.

If you view the link to the PDF document below, then it talks about how schools have to comply with Title IX for intercollegiate sports, club sports, and intramural sports. Also, the compliance for each group is independent of each other.

"The very same Title IX requirements for intercollegiate athletics programs also apply to club programs and intramural programs. However, each program is evaluated separately from each other for
compliance."

The article even talks about a school offering a sport at the club level, but not at the intercollegiate level.

"The main interrelationship among intercollegiate, club, and intramural programs is that participation in club sports and intramural sports will be reviewed as evidence of potential interest for intercollegiate sports. In effect, if an institution does not offer a women’s intercollegiate lacrosse team, and there is a women’s lacrosse club at the institution, that would be viewed as strong evidence of interest in lacrosse; however, the question remains whether club lacrosse participants might also be interested in intercollegiate participation."
