D1 college soccer under threat

Hard to predict what happens at this point with things changing so rapid

This is soccer. Just about no one has a full ride. My guess is that if your an impact player the coach will find a way to extend the scholarship to the 5th tear.

Yes extend at the expense of who? Current players , incoming recruits?

Hey I believe that even the crap that you want to spew is protected by the 1st amendment. You see people not like you as less than human. Sad.

No, not really. I see everyone having the same rules. You play by them or you don't. If you don't, there are consequences.

... like not playing scrimmages and risking a club sanction when we're all on lock down. Like staying home in your bubble at night so all athletes have the same opportunity to play.

Whining about equality. You sure are no Cassius Marcellus Clay. You are more like a David Duke. Don't worry about me chief. I'm doing fine. I know that you hate reality but it's staring you in the face. You can continue with you white greivance though. Thankfully it's still a free country although you probably hold the 2nd amendment higher in your mind than the 1st, 13th, 14th, 15th 16th and the 19th. I don't although I have more than one gun..... POC's are armed now FYI....

MAP, OUTLAW HAS ALREADY BEEN WARNED, AND NOW YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. KEEP THESE TYPE OF POSTS IN OFF TOPIC.

I agree with much of what you are saying but I guess I just took it differently. I just got off the phone with my own kid - she's been on campus for a month, working out in her pod and waiting to start full team workouts. Today she spoke with some football players in the weight room. It's complex and there is grieving and stress, no doubt. And that will trickle down. But as @Simisoccerfan, it is not a usual period (I know you - and everyone else - know that, too). I struggle most in the absence of information so these next weeks and possibly (likely?) months waiting for this to get settled, and knowing that it can all! change again if, come January, rapid tests have not be broadly deployed, we are still saying, "what's the plan for tracing?", there are few proven therapeutics, etc., makes it all the more difficult. I am sorry for the stress that all the young people - and their parents -are feeling. It really, really sucks. Stay safe, everyone. And as is often said in jest but I am saying w/sincerity, make good choices (whatever they might be).

Another reason academics are soooo important! A 4.4 is going to get you a lot more than a 3.6. Add in high test scores too.
 
Looks like the Pac 12 took things a bit further and said no sports till next year. This is the first conference I have seen saying Basketball won't start on time.

To be honest 1 of 2 things have to happen to have a spring season.

1. People saying enough and lets move on with life
2. A vaccine

Without one of those 2 things happening...come the end of December we will be reading similar headlines from various conferences regarding spring sports.

In what way? Losing scholly $$? Being decommitted?

Dubs, I am only speculating. But if they need to find athletic money to bring seniors back and also extend the current other three clases another year it needs to come from somewhere. Sure the NCAA might allow teams to go above the 14 scholarship limit for a few years but with no Football they might not have the money to do that. Put it this way would you rather invest scholarship money in another year for your impact players or let them go and invest in unproven, future talent?

Vaccine, when out, will not be available for everyone for a while. Doctors and 1st responders will be a priority. Judging that Athletes (specially soccer) are at the bottom of the list, I suspect Spring soccer is not an option.

100% agree. There will be a vaccine available but distribution will be an issue and as a result there won’t be college soccer until fall. I’m very certain there will be a 2021 fall season for colleges that have not killed their programs.

That makes sense. Really hope things work out for 2021s and beyond. What a massive cluster F.

Agree about distribution-- however, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Many vaccine candidates are already ramping up production in anticipation of wide distribution once they pass trials, so that first wave of doctors, first responders, nursing home caregivers, etc, will likely all be able to be vaccinated within weeks. Then you'll probably get high-risk candidates based on age and doctors recommendations, then opening up to general use shortly thereafter. And of course last will be the antivaxxers who finally realize they won't be able to do anything in society without proof of being vaccinated.
