Thanks for the update. I believe things change day to day and there's no real plan just yet. Tough times to be in right now!Eh, not doubtful at all. My DD (senior) and a couple others plan on playing their fourth year of soccer while taking grad school prerequisites. It's already in the works if there is no season past Spring. We had a team zoom call about just this topic on Monday. Seniors are all invited back if it comes to that. Sounds like the 2022 and 2023's are going to get shorted if anything.
It is not a given at all. See this article:
Wisconsin Won't Allow Spring Sport Senior Athletes to Return in 2021
Keep in mind that this is a Power 5 school, too. It is expensive to let these players return.
Which would mean what for the 2021s?Eh, not doubtful at all. My DD (senior) and a couple others plan on playing their fourth year of soccer while taking grad school prerequisites.

Good questions, and the answer is "We'll find out." No way to really predict all the ramifications of losing the 2020-21 sports seasons. But I would guess that there will be kids who decide to drop soccer entirely, some opt for upgrading their school/soccer program, maybe slightly fewer opportunities for new incoming freshmen for the next season as the number of 5th year seniors/grad student players increases.Another thought here. Students this year at some institutions are being allowed to defer a year. How many are committed soccer players and doing so? What’s their future I mpact? Also, if there is a back up of players could this improve other programs? Meaning for example players committed to a program de commit prior to attending and change schools.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!Good questions, and the answer is "We'll find out." No way to really predict all the ramifications of losing the 2020-21 sports seasons.

I predict that the much bigger impact of this pandemic is not going to come from the loss of the next season, but from the budget crisis that is going to sweep the entire college landscape starting now and over the next several years. Schools formerly in decent financial condition are going to tighten their belts, schools just getting by are going to have to slash massive amounts of money to stay afloat, and those that were already having trouble are going to shut down entirely. I can guarantee that is going to hit soccer programs (men's and women's) across the country, and there will be FAR fewer opportunities for scholarships and roster spots in the coming years. Already, my player's college coaches are talking about losing support staff and resources as part of budget cuts, and her school's women's soccer program is the premier sport at her particular school (DII).
I really, really hope I'm wrong.
UGH. Good luck man. All the best to your DD. Please keep us updated!Our latest update. CAA cancelled fall football but did not offical cancel other fall sports. Did tell schools that they can make their own decisions. 6 out of the 10 schools then shutdown all fall sports. 4 schools include my dd's are committed to building a schedule and playing as long as the NCAA still holds their fall championship. Bottom line we are still hitting the road on Sunday and she is reporting on to camp on 7/27. If (or more likely when) the NCAA cancels their fall championships, everything will be shutdown.

My friend waited 6 days for his results. In the meantime everyone at his place treated him like a leper and all his neighbors ((apartments)) knew where the leper lived. Plus, the leper had to lay in bed late at night worrying and wondering if the bat virus entered his body. Long nights of fear sucks!! On the 6th day he was told negative. His hole life & house shut down and it was all based on fears of the unknown. With this mindset, nothing will stay open.soccer programs will not be able to comply with the 72 hour time table to test and receive results thus likely ending womens soccer season.

Had a friend just tell me he waited 11 days for results.My friend waited 6 days for his results.

Think about that. 11 days freaking out wondering what is in your body and according to EOTL and Copa it might or could cause brain damage and lung damage. Basically, you're toast if you get it. This is insane it's taking this long. Longer the delay the more fear and the more people can spread more fear.Had a friend just tell me he waited 11 days for results.
Yep, crazy to take so long.Think about that. 11 days freaking out wondering what is in your body and according to EOTL and Copa is might or could cause brain damage and lung damage.

Results?Yep, crazy to take so long.
@Simisoccerfan- So how did it go dropping off your DD at school? Any challenges? Would like you hear how your experience turned out..Also all college football players are back in camp. They are being tested and seem not to have an issue with getting results.
