You’re right. FSU is a Top D1 soccer school with lower academic standards. Always a good option.

My dd has only gone to Hawaii and loves it. Her uncle Mike has lived in Kauai for 30 years. Nice place to hang. I went to Florida to see my brother Dave and I kid you not, I was attacked by these freaking mosquitos. You see, my bro was the only one on the block without a big giant net over the pool. They loved my blood. I'm sure I picked up some disease too. I tried to play golf, but my clubs kept slipping out of my hands because it was humid and hot and all I did was sweat. Worse than Palm Springs in August. I saw an alligator next to my ball and decided to drop for a better lie My bro warned me not to go into the everglades because of the snakes in the grass. Maybe my goat can hang. No way I could in that state. It was very beautiful to my eyes though and the people were really nice and the food is the bomb!!!

I hear you. I’ve spent time in both places and have tons of family in the Bahamas. Be careful about choosing an island for school. Islands are great for vacations but after a few months “Island Fever” becomes an issue. It’s expensive to leave and return to the island and everything is expensive because it has to be imported. I wouldn’t want to live in Hawaii on any type of limited budget.

I could live on Kauia forever. My dd was going to go to NJ after all. She talked me into it with a 4.0 almost (B in Trig) and telling me she's open to checking out the East Coast. My dd played 10 years of club and I only had to have talks with the Doc and coach for three months out of 10 years. I never say a word to a coach. I was a coach and I know a lot about coaching. Once coaches get to know my dd and know she is 100% her own thing, they won't worry about a few rants on the forum.
 
Word of advice, your kid is not likely to go pro. And if she does there is currently no money in it. Might even be less after this Covid thing is over. So that leaves two options. Let her just have fun and enjoy the few years you have left of club. Or if she is good enough use the next few years of soccer as leverage to get her into a good college and hopefully get part of it paid. In order to do the later good grades are needed. Better grades helps her get into a better school and also helps her get academic money. You know that D1 schools only have 14 scholarships available and some of them are not fully funded. Who knows if they will be able to fund to the same levels post Covid. Right now it is extremely rare to get a full athletic scholarship with roster of 30+. If she gets half she is doing great. But if she has good grades she can get academic money that can wrap around and make it a full ride. Add in the endless perks D1 plays get like Total Cost Money, free food, endless clothing and gear and that could amount to $40,000 plus per year. That is more money than most pro's make that don't get allocation money. At the end you daughter will have a great experience and will have a degree that she can leverage for her entire life.

I disagree. I think because of the Corona, more people will see how much a waste of time college is for some and some should do a trade or some other job. I know so many people with degrees and debt and no job. The trade industry is booming and will continue for a very long time. So many ways to live on this planet without 16 years of school and thousands of dollars in debt. I will fight for pro and equal money for girls in soccer. My goat has a .1% chance. Where are your dreams? Do you dream or is it all Maped out for you and your kid? Was this Corona thing a part of the plan? Time to pivot and I already did two years ago. I made some very smart moves. My soccer moves were too fast and I got played.

My best friend J’Juan Cherry is the biggest tool known to mankind and briefly played at ASU before his dumb ass flunked out. There must be a 4th way into Arizona schools for the right athlete if my friend was admitted immediately after Colorado kicked him out for having someone else take his SAT’s.

Seriously? He played at ASU over 20 years ago, oh wait he barely saw the field.

My dd is farther along the path than yours. She is playing the sport she loves at a school she loves and is getting her Undergrad degree essentially for free. Her goal is then to go to grad school and become a Physician's Assistant. She can't do that without the education. The money I save for her college gets to continue to grow (hopefully!) for a few years to pay for grad school.

It runs so much deeper dude. I know who I'm talking to and you don;t. Some think I've been talking to myself. That's ok. I'm talking to a very select few. They know who they are and I'm hear to let them know what they did to me and my dd will be atone for. They know what they are guilty of. Most of you only care about college. I care about how girls are treated more than staying quite so my dd can go to college and play soccer. More to life than playing soccer in college. Such hope you placed all your dd in and I respect that. What say you about all the girls who killed themselves and are depressed? 80% quit dude. Let that sink in your brain. Plus some girls were getting gromed for other things. This is the truth no one talks about.

That is concerning. I would feel bad for any parent that went through what your daughter went through. Again, I'm starting to understand your story and thanks sharing. Its best not to make it personal and to hope people learn from your mistakes. I'm sure 80% quit soccer because of other reasons than being lied to.

The biggest one is depression.

Could you please come to my house and tell him that. I promise you he’s in denial. I tell him all the time “use to be’s” don’t make honey. Please shut up. But he thinks I’m a hater!

Back in those days there was a lot of "relaxed" admission standards, I think ASU has been sanctioned multiple times over them. Basketball got hit hard by a few. But we all know there will always be ways to get kids in. I remember him, he was an Athlete! I was kidding about his playing time.

And I am 100% happy for your goat. I really am. I wasn;t sold that path. Sorry. I was sold YNT and Pro. It all worked out for you and your dd. Good job. I'm getting my questions answered and that is my only mission. My dd will never be in your dd way of success, I promise. Sounds like a great kid and I'm sure your a great parent.

If someone told you that your 12-year old was going to go pro or play for the National Team, shame on you for being completely oblivious.

P.S. - Stop using "your" when "you're" is appropriate. You're starting to fuck other people up. Not much of a TunaHelper, are you?
