2019 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

Those rabbit holes are in a lot of cities and High Schools as well. This investigation will only make the bribes more expensive. Does anybody with a lick of common sense really think that High School coaches or ADs aren't taking kickbacks to allow one club over another to use their facilities? Isn't there one such local club that goes and puts high school coaches on their payroll to access to their fields. This is the bigger crime. A rich kid getting a fake degree really doesn't change much in the big picture as they were rich to begin with and will be rich afterwards.

The real crime is that this seems to be happening in cities and schools all over southern California where local kids playing in Sunday leagues have to scrounge for a patch of grass to practice on in the dark while these big buck clubs get all the premium fields with lights. How can any city or school grant exclusive use to these big companies looking to get bigger to make more money? I know some idiot that doesn't understand non profits is going to respond and say that they are non profits so it isn't about money. Use your time more wisely and read up on these non profit scams before commenting. There are kids in my neighborhood that have no place to play or practice because big clubs have taken over all the grass in the neighborhood. It wasn't like that when my kids were young. At least these kids are better behaved now days. In my day, we would have made it so all these rich people and their fancy cars wouldn't want to drive, let alone park, in our neighborhood.

Somebody convince me that these coaches and city employees are not getting coin under the table. Schools and Cities should open up the fields to all parties equally. If it cost $10 bucks, then whoever pays the $10 bucks should be allowed to use it. It should not be exclusive to people that don't even live in the city or go to the school.

You touch upon what I was thinking. What are the bigger issues that go under the radar.
 
I would caution those who are getting excited about this resulting in changes, as there is a very real risk of unintended consequences with any changes this might bring. There are already calls from many quarters (faculties, administrators, politicians, pundits, and prominent magazines) to eliminate preferentially treatment for athlete's in college admissions.

If that is the goal, here is your chance. The resolution of the unrelated case against Harvard regarding Asian admissions may result in the need for change.

Convince you of a negative? No thanks.

No doubt there is some "politics" being played at specific schools, and some clubs and coaches play the game well. But, speaking from actually experience in my area, most school districts have very specific policies, payment plans and priorities they must, and do, follow. In the South Bay (Torrance, Palos Verdes, Manhattan/Hermosa, San Pedro), AYSO or majority local youth soccer groups get priority in nearly every case, and pay reduced rates.

The big fields with lights often cost a lot of $ to build and maintain, and only exist because the school districts and cities know the clubs (soccer, football, other) will pay the cost to build and maintain them. School budgets for field maintenance are being cut (assign blame as you see fit) and in many cases the only way they can be maintained is by users who are able to pay the bill.

You want to go back to the good old days of playing on unlit dirt fields, slowly being taken over by gophers we can no longer easily eradicate because parents sue schools who use poison? Give them free to Rec leagues and locals, kick off the clubs, and your wish is granted.

I assumed that she was playing well. Spring is great because it's a chance for everyone to show that they deserve to get on the field when it counts. I agree that there is a TON of experimenting going on that will serve it's purpose down the road. I'm glad that I get to see my player lined up to play my second favorite team at least 2 more times. If you are in town on the 14th of April I hope to see you at the new watering hole that opened up a couple steps from the old watering hole. I hope that Pepperdine wins all of their games (except for when they line up against my kiddo). Continued good fortune to you and your family.

You know I will be there! Looking forward to it. Health & good fortune to you and yours as well MAP.

They were probably tired from playing Pepp.

Actually the Japanese team's schedule looked like this:

Weds: 3-1 win over UCI
Thurs: 2-3 loss at Long Beach State
Friday: 0-2 loss at UCLA
Saturday: 2-2 tie with Pepp
Sunday: 0-4 loss to USC

Pepp was their fourth game in four days. USC their 5th. They are troopers!
 
So I guess there are more dipshits than people that care about soccer on this thread. Please don’t reference me in your post if you are going to be s dipshit. Comment all you want about shit you don’t know about for whatever reason. If you are butt hurt for some perceived injustice against you personally I would love to debate that but don’t get me involved in your petty crybaby shit.

Game on Saturday and I look forward to another College Cup this time in the great state of California. If you want to get into a flame war PM me as this is the only response you will get on anything other than soccer from me publicly.

Where’s your outrage over the criminal in the White House @Glen? Pathetic. Keep my name out of your fucking mouth.

It doesn’t affect any of you.
 
Hey @SpeedK1llz . I can't comment on certain things publicly but we can talk in April. I can tell you all the speculation is so far off that it is stupid. It's funny how people who have no idea what is going on can make up whatever you want. Trust me if there was a fire I would be concerned. If I was you I would stay out of the debate with all of the haters and muckrakers that just wish that their kid could go to a top 5 program that is in the hunt for a championship every year, at a top 25 academic school. I can tell you that almost every player on the team has a 3.0 or better gpa and most are in challenging majors. You will see a full strength squad in August and will see all but the injured players in April. The team will be MOTIVATED FYI.....

Good to know. I hope you are right as I wish no ill will on UCLA women's soccer but it's hard to imagine that someone didn't know something. The news is blowing up over this thing.

I'm assuming the program leadership has spoken to the team/parents about this and and cleared the air. I wish they will publicly clear the air as well and put an end to this maelstrom of speculation.
 
It seems I was right in my thoughts that this would be a much more interesting page now, recovering from the Abdul-bullies-critics mess it had fallen into.
 
If people want to hear some news. All of the UCLA players are secretly professionals and some are actually not even fully human. Designer babies have actually been around for awhile and most of us wanted extra brains and soccer ability in our babies. We had to pay a little extra and bribe Monsanto but it happened. It isn't illegal so keep on hating. I hear all the kids at Stanford have wealthy parents and have cybernetics installed so that they play soccer better and are just generally better than all you Plebians.

Go run with that.

What truths are you attempting to lure people away from with that?
