First D1 school with full international roster - depressing

[Anonymous]

It is more than depressing. It is hindering our nation from developing elite world class players. I don't understand how some of these coaches get away with this. In fact, many of these coaches are foreigners bringing foreign players to play soccer and get free tuition. Our universities should put a ceiling on the number of non US citizens college players to say 25% max across public universities.

Not D3. Its a D1 school you dolt!

I’m from a big 10 school, we considered them d3 level competition

Awful flex, Chachi.

"I'm from a big [sic] 10 school..." you know where all the women are fat, and a.6/10 anywhere else is our 10/10. But it is ok. All of us guys were fat too.

If going to a Big 10 school is something you feel is an awesome burn at your age, you just owned yourself. Loser.

Oh, ow. You deeply hurt me….hahaha

I know I did, fatty. Loser.

A reminder for everyone in the back of the room. Bullies at school often come from households with adult bullies at home as well.

It's not bullying when the original party tries playing tough guy then wants to play victim because his feelings are hurt after someone calls him out. You can't have it both ways.

.

Yes you are, a bully always has to get the last word too. Just stop!

You stop, Karen. Unless, it's your husband how is it your business?

He wanted to make fun of people because he thought being an average student (non athlete) at a state school somehow made him better than a kid who is a D1 athlete at another D1 state school. Then, wanted to be Tommy Tough Guy when told he was being juvenile.

Last word right……hahaha

Doesn't that just mean your kid needs to be a better player than the international kids? Compete on the merits and all that? And if he's not that talented, go to college for academics like the rest of the kids.

Don't you get it? The international players are 23 yr old freshman who have 5 years of maturity, physicailly and otherwise, plus 5 years of intenational academy play, on 17 yr old American boys who are trying to get recruited to their own state universities out of high school. That is a tall order in sports - for an adolescent to compete on merits and "get better" than a man several years older with actual professional experience. These boys and parents have a right to feel disheartened. 10 years ago that talented 17 yr old could easily get recruited and now many can't.

What are you talking about. You saying 10 years ago you were tracking 17 year olds college soccer recruiting or you just making shxx up?

As the Youth Technical Director of a soccer club for 12 years, yes that's exactly right, I have tracked players. No need to make anything up. More American players out of HS 10 years ago were able to get recruited to more competiive programs than they can now.

I think saying all college sports should be U23 would fix a lot of our current problems. You could even make a redshirt exception for those using a 5th year due to an injury to make it slightly more flexible (ie if you started as legit college age, you get a slight eligibility flex up so we don’t have situations with kids not graduating).

Also, could have an agreement like the Ivys in the big 3 sports where admissions criteria can only be relaxed so much more than average.

Wait, admissions criteria are relaxed for recruited athletes!?!
