Signing Day-- ECNL to College Womens Soccer

It doesn’t just get you admitted into an IVY when you otherwise wouldn’t be, they also find ways to give money, trust me.

Ivy? No --- it would take 5-10 million at an Ivy to do anything. So if you are saying that magnitude I would say sure. Anything less does not get a call returned.

Ivy league schools don't do athletic scholarships, so if a student is getting into an Ivy it's all academics

That’s not quite the way it works. Coaches can help a certain number of players. The academics have to be good but the help is significant.

Agree. No athletic $$, but athletics can get you admitted when you otherwise wouldn't be.

Most of the schools on the list you would hope the player can get in without soccer. It is harder getting on the team vs getting in the college.

Did you look at those lists? Many of the schools on that list would be a lottery pick if you had top grades and scores.

UPenn
Vanderbilt
Davidson
Carnegie Mellon
Emory
Princeton
Stanford
MIT

echo this. You look at this list and last year’s, a big chunk of the schools are sub 10% acceptance rate. Even your best student around here would be rolling the dice to get in, without legacy or other ++.

And to the weirdo who says you can get your kid onto the team with a large donation- have you seen the endowments at most of these schools? Not happening.

A donation within the means of people in this area will not get your kid on any team at a decent school. People here are rich but not with an extra million to throw away.

Grab a clue. Families in the DMV are donating LARGE amounts of money to get their kids on the end of rosters. 2 of them signed last week at top 20 schools. People are just afraid to call them out...and when they go to social media and blast it in everyone's face it just shows you the arrogance.

TRUTH.

I'm sorry but this is BS. Prove it

Don't have to. I know it's the truth from people on my DD's team. Plus other teams in the area have similar situations. You not believing that is a YOU problem.

Fact is that you do not. Even if they told you which they would not -- you still do not know. You don't know unless you were in the room. And no there are not enough people throwing around 7 or 9 figures for this to be true around here. Pure BS.

Do Ivy’s give any scholarship $?

Obviously not provable unless we quote names which no one would do here. But yes it happens and yes we are talking $1million+.

So... you are full of bs. If a college wants a kid they will take the kid. No one around here is paying $1M plus soccer to get a kid in. You are just profoundly stupid.

VDA has their whole list posted. Looks like almost full 06/7 team recruited for college teams, about 25% to Power 4 including the YNT player to Stanford-- good for her.

What are you guys seeing?

BP got all of those players committed to colleges in 6 months? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

im sure those girls had looks from coaches before BP came from the heavens of loudoun county to save vda….

Even players in college going into the transfer portal are tagging him on X, pretty nuts.

It is nuts. Why would you tag BP? If the first time he did a terrible job - why would you trust him? Clearly do your own research and BTW - he can't help you.

Wake? Now THAT's a signing! The team is awesome and the school is one of the best. This trumps UVA by 7 miles!

This is not happening. You may think that but it is not. This is not the way college sports work after Varsity Blues. You may think that it does but no it does not.

Nonsense. Varsity Blues was the side door for kids that hardly played the sport.
This is the front door and it’s always been open.

Exactly. Very different than Varsity Blues. No bribes. Just a promise for one of the last roster spots for the DD of a large donor. DD would definitely need.to be a very decent soccer player, just not someone who would get a roster spot on one of the top 20 D1 soccer programs without Daddy's help. If anyone thinks this doesn't happen they're just clueless.
