It's all about the money. Unless you convince those making the money to change, how it works is how it works. There is absolutely a better way. Problem is the people in control don't want better, they want status quo and to keep the money coming.

Hey Woobie6, you seem like a great dad that I never had. Sorry for challenging you with the stupid, "how much crap." I already told everyone how much I spent so there is nothing wrong with that. I promise I'm not a psychopath. When I'm not healthy, my doc tells me I become a narcissist. I tend to feel sorry for myself and want to be alone. I fought the good fight and I can take this anymore. I joke around 50% of the time in my writings. I'm not hear to threaten anybody on this forum. I swear to you as God as my witness. No more PMs please. Let me repeat, I'm not hear to threaten any body on this forum. If I called you names, please forgive me. I thought we could talk smack and name call. I will stop that today and look to get better. I'm going stir crazy in my house and I will break some rules today and hit my surf spot

Thanks...All good EJ. I don't take any of this stuff personally. It's fun to have the interaction since we are all locked up. I'm totally good with the smack talk, Jokes, etc. I get you want things to change and what is best for your DD. That's most important. Enjoy the beach!
How do you guys manage the travel costs for ECRL?
Consolation prize in Premier Division. Sounders took the Championship Division against some of the top academies in the world. Not exactly sure what point you were trying to make (since I don’t wanna have to back-read endless pages of this back-and-forth), but Xolos weren’t playing with the big boys.Hs

Team travel. We don't fly anywhere. My 04s did not play this last year as it was their first year of high school for most of them so I let them focus on that . Our 05s played and many of their Saturday games were later in the day so they would travel to SoCal in the morning thus eliminating a nights stay. We try and be creative and accommodating. We play tournaments in our region. Surf, Players, Mayors, Legends... I set a schedule early on so we can budget it out a bit.
We will play ECRL this year but compared to ECNL the travel is way less.
So...... We all know that when testosterone kicks in for males they become stronger and faster for the most part, always exceptions, no big deal, but hey women can grow a human being inside their bodies.

Why can't you play D1 soccer, study hard, focus on a career, and be in the "sorority" of athletes going to battle every week with each other rather than the the sorority of beer bongs? (Asks my dd just now as she leaves to go on a run).
05's are all turning 15 this year so will be U16 when play resumes.

Probably true, but the original comment was 05 are u14?, So the current status is 05 are U15

D1 soccer is too demanding and time consuming for someone without professional aspirations in soccer. Shouldn’t young adults be focusing on what they ultimately want to do professionally?

It’s rather disingenuous to make a comment that men’s soccer is awful. It’s not. They’re tremendous athletes. The speed at which the game is played and skills are displayed, is hard to match by women. It just becomes, for me, unwatchable with the antics (Neymar Legacy) that are FAR more prevalent in the men’s game. I’d much rather watch a women’s game be it Pro, college or high level club.

I just sent Catarina Macario an email stating her future is fucked based on your post. She replied back with some babble about "Stanford Alumni Network" and a bunch of
. Not sure what that's all about, Dre.

Who says it's too demanding? You? Not the athletes I know. That makes zero sense.

That's also like saying students should never have outside interests other than what they "think" their career is going to be at 19 years old.

I’m just kidding. I like joking with @vegasguy because he’s passionate about kids. I find it refreshing that there are coaches that care more about kids than money.
Lots of fake coaches out there with great things ON their resume. But with great coaches it’s IN you not ON you. @vegasguy has it IN him, I’m just teasing dude so he can put his passion on display so the fakes can see what the real looks like.
Congratulations to your daughter.

The NCAA approved a waiver that will allow schools to spend below the minimum level on athletic scholarships required to compete in Division I.

I never heard of a minimum before. How does that fit with the Ivies (no athletic scholarships) and the service academies (everyone is on scholarship)?

Maybe someone with more detail knowledge can answer that.
What I took from the article is the 200 grants or 4million spend on them for D1 sports will not be required for a period of 1year.
Will there be less scholarship money for soccer? Yes seems to be the case for at least a year.
What NCAA rule is that? (I'll race you to find the answer)
Found it (I think) --
20.9.3.2 Minimum Awards. A member of Division I shall provide institutional financial assistance that equals one of the following:
after which are several options and an escape clause that allows all financial aid, including Federal Pell grants, to be counted in the same basket with athletic scholarships.
