2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

I understand the Title IX implication. I didn't bring up a men's sport, because I wanted to discuss which women sport would be eliminated. Since you brought up the men's, it's a fairly easy decision, eliminate the non-revenue mens sport that's least popular....how about Rugby and it's roster of 59 players. I'm curious how many scholarships are offered for Rugby?

For women, it's 12 in NCAA DI or DII. For men, none.

Better yet, eliminate the positions who approved the earthquake retrofitting for the outdated stadium who put the athletic department in this mess in the 1st place. You would think with bright professions and administrators....they would have analyzed and projected what yearly expense would have been prior to approving. It might have been cheaper leasing the Oakland Coliseum, like UCLA with the Rose Bowl.
 
I don't mean to shift gears, but I keep hearing about CAL Athletics Department in financial distress to the tune of 18 million in the red per year. The culprit is the stadium retrofit and the new athletic training center.

No you eliminate a mens sports with scholarships. You reduce trade cost and now you can eliminate some female scholarships.

Lose Field Hockey (wtf is that), mens rugby and maybe mens gymnastics. you take the mens gynamstics scholarships and allocate them to women's rowing or maybe track.

I like your thinking.
 
Sorry MAP to have hijack the thread.

1. Pac12
2. ACC
3. SEC
4. Big10
5. Tied Big 12 and WCC
7. Big East-Georgetown
We are seeing a trend emerge going back the last 10 yrs. ACC is strong, but no longer the best conference that is head and shoulders above the others.

Last decade
ACC - 5 college cup champs
Pac12 - 4 college cup champs

Since 2011
Pac12 - 3 college cup chanps
ACC - 2 college cup champs

Since 2013
Pac12 - 2 college cup champs
ACC - 1 college cup champ

Last 2 years
Pac12- 1 college cup champion
Big10- 1 colleg cup champion
ACC- none

The ACC did have a school in the championship game every year for the last decade though.

Not last year. West Virginia is in the Big 12. Interesting trend thanks for highlighting it.

I've got ....
1. ACC -- FSU
2. Pac12 -- Stanford
2.5 SEC -- South Carolina
4. Big10 -- Penn State
5. WCC -- BYU
6. Big East -- Georgetown
7. Big12 -- WVU

FSU, Stanford and Penn State top teams with everyone else looking in. Remember, I picked PDA, Blues and Slammers to win all ECNL championships over the last couple of weeks so I'm pretty good at this LOL!

Don't you go out on a limb now.

BYU and South Carolina aren't nearly the teams that they were last year. Santa Clara is better than last year. South Carolina might not make the tournament. They lost 7 starters and had a rough spring and the SEC will be stronger this year. With 2 of the final 8 teams last year that is saying something. While it will be difficult to repeat that this year they could have 4 teams advance to the sweet 16.
 
Not a loser. Damn good plumber and an even better person. Everyone's fire is different.
I didnt mean that Im a loser, lol.
I dont think I am, at least not a complete loser.
I do appreciate the sentiment, though, amigo.
Says more about you, than me.

I was commenting on the commercial.
I just saw a bunch of superstars making the case that defeat lit their fire.
It may have. I know MJ was cut from his HS team, and thats mind boggling to me.

I just didnt think the commercial was that great.
