It's tough to keep momentum in lulls between US Soccer meetings for sure and I can accept tangents on NCAA programs.

Is it a tangent, though, if THAT happens and US Soccer stresses BY vs SY for its development windows?

I have heard of colleges speaking with US Soccer about leaving NCAA. This has been happening for a while.

I haven't heard of any specifics. Also I haven't heard if it was for mens only (I assume yes) or for both men's and women's college programs.

Interesting to think about what would happen if a bunch of college soccer programs went US Soccer over NCAA. Would NCAA retaliate? Can they still have women's soccer in NCAA while the men are US Soccer? I guess we'll find out soon.

We are probably inching closer to Grad year

…MLS is BY, US Soccer wants BY. Don’t be an idiot

So who wants SY?

ECNL

Why does ECNL want SY?

They could care less. They think the whole debate makes no sense.

Yeah…lol…just using the Socratic method to get some of these people to think critically about what has been discussed on this thread…but it seems like people would prefer to shut down than confront the inevitable…

Rumor is that colleges leaving NCAA will have roster limits on number of international players.

Why would colleges care about this?

Not playing in NCAA world allow colleges to do anything they want with scholarships.

No one is leaving the NCAA unless the NCAA folds --- which is not out of the question. But if it does not fold then nothing will or can happen. The NCAA will not let someone go someplace else for one sport that it covers and let them stay in other sports. It is dumb to even discuss.

The NCAA has no authority anymore, the supreme court made sure of that. They are lucky that the SEC and B1G are willing to cut them in at the moment.

ECNL doesn't want SY. The only people who want SY are parents of trapped players that ride the bench. They point to an RAE advantage that Q1/2 kids have over their Q3/4 kids but the skill of truly talented players negates size. These parents are like a lobbyists group in Washington. Whoever screams the loudest and makes the most noise gets the attention. Most of us dont care about the switch because our kids are talented.

Before one of you claim I have a Q1 kid, no. They are Q3 and start on a first team.

It seems like ECNL, more so than any other league, wants SY.

So ECNL has been holding these discussions and spearheading this movement but they don’t want it? They are just succumbing to lobbyist style parental pressure? Seems like if they didn’t want it they’d tell those parents to F off.

First -- there is no settlement -- at least not yet. There will be but we will not know what it means until the late summer at best. So no changes at all for the NCAA.

Second, no one will drop the NCAA for fear of the unknown. Certainly not in soccer. Football is possible at any time.

One more month until announcements come out with more details about the Fall 26 switch to align more with school year and the actual cut off date. Only one more month to deal with the usual suspects on this forum thinking if they type something on that it's true. One more month until actual facts.

ECNL spearheaded nothing. The leaders said a couple of things. But they took almost no concrete steps and they still have not. There is no evidence other than this board that parents are worked up about this in any numbers.

ECNL must be staying BY then…
