2020 Women's D1 Soccer Talk!!!! EXTENDED TO SPRING '21!!!!

Looks like leagues are altering their conference schedule to reduce travel:

wonder if WCCwl do this:

UOP
USF
Santa Clara
Smc
Plays each other 2 times for six games.
No conference games could include CAL, Stanford, San Jose state, Davis, Sac State, Nevada,,

Pepperdine
USD
Loyola
Plays each other three times. Non conferences games could include Long Beach, Fullerton, Irvine, UCSB, USC, UCLA, SDSU. Plenty of choices down south.

BYU
Portland
Gonzaga
Plays each other three times. Non conference could include Utah Valley, southern Utah, Utah, WSU, UW, Portland state, EWU, Oregon, maybe some D2 .

Pac12 needs some thought. They are a bit more spread out but cal and Stanford, UCLA and USC goof starts it 3x for sure. ASU vs. Arizona 3x
Oregon, OSU, WSU, UW 2x . Maybe Utah with as schools
 
I'm going to revive this thread so people aren't confused by the other one (this thread is to discuss the upcoming 2020 season).

No official WCC announcements yet, but I know there is a lot of "Unofficial" training going on....anyone hear anything with Pac-12?

Nothing on Pac-12! They will obviously the last you'll hear from.

It's going to be tough to have a college soccer season. The NWSL has the players getting tested twice a week and living in a bubble for a month just to pull off the tournament that they are condensing the season down to. With all of the college football and NFL players that have tested positive for the virus and others that tested positive for the antibody, I don't see how they are going to be able to have any sports without keeping the entire team in a bubble. Personally I would have my kid redshirt if they have the availble year to do so. I'm not even sending my 11 year old back to 6th grade in the fall he is going to do distance learning until there is a vaccine. Too many people having their noses out of their masks and too many people acting like we aren't in the middle of a pandemic that has killed almost a half a million people (and that is only the reported deaths).

Good luck to everyone during this challenging time and please wear a damn mask in public!!!
 
Reposting here to stay on topic.

Not 100% confirmed yet but hearing reporting date of 7/26 or 7/27. One week of Covid testing and other physicals. Independant training that week. Then practice/training in pods of 8. Maybe for 1-2 weeks. Then full team practice. Training camp in Dorms but solo occupancy. Other changes in AT and locker rooms to limit occupancy and provide distancing. Also team is working on a plan to get the international students back into the country.

Map, can you still go to school without the vaccine? No kids have died either. Gavin just announced mandatory mask in cali. OC must obey and I will get in big trouble if they dont. I let my kid play and have no fear. To each his own. I was trying to stay positive everyone about playing sports but its just to dangerous. See you all next year. Peace!!!

It's dangerous to those that are immunocompromised. professors, older officials and fans with the previous are at risk. Unfortunately this might be the new normal.
 
I am wondering if the UCSB schedule is accurate? There was a news article about the Chancellor saying there are no fall sports for CSU schools.
 
The chancellor never said no fall sports for CSU’s.
the only conference who has cancelled/postponed fall sports is the CAA which is a D2 conference and has some CSU schools in it.
The D1 CSU’s (Long Beach, sdsu, cal poly etc) are all playing. Or at least planning on it.

NFLPA advises players not to work out together

Dr. Thom Mayer, the medical director for the NFL Players Association, is advising players not to work out together to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

I think this news along with a high number of athletes getting COVID (Clemson, TX, Alabama ) will put an end to all voluntary workouts.

If pros aren’t doing it why would unpaid college athletes?
 
It doesn’t look like fall schedules are posted for D1 programs so it doesn’t look like decisions have been made and announced yet. All the news articles I see are from May and saying that CSU classes are all online for fall but haven’t decided about sports yet. I can’t imagine no football because of the revenue it generates and if they have football they would have to have other sports but it isn’t clear. I know one D1 school that has said no soccer season this fall but not sure about others. Very thankful that for other parts of the country fall soccer season is on with some limitations.
 
Every D1 is playing as of now. Of course all could change but no div 1 team has cancelled soccer as of today. Pac 12 has limited non conference games to within 400 miles of home for cost reasons. Some conferences dropping conference tournaments for cost reasons. But season is a go. Let’s hope...

Is there an external source for the Pac 12's non-conference policy? That sounds logical but I have not seen anything other than your comment and I'd like to read how the conference has described it (and anything else related to covid). Thanks.
 
I don’t know if it’s a written thing or just an internal directive to pac 12 schools. It is NOT Covid related in that it isn’t for health reasons. It’s all financial to save money after the loss of March madness revenue and losing students on campus. Several pac 12 schools are in dire financial straits even before the impact of covid. Which will be massive as well.
Again I haven’t seen it anywhere just heard it from lots of sources.
