[quote=Anonymous]Why don’t many of the perennial big sports schools have men’s soccer?

UT, Georgia Tech, University of Georgia, University of Arizona DO NOT - NOR HAVE THEY EVER HAD - D1 men’s soccer. The list goes on and on.  These are all in soccer hot beds. Why no D1 MENS soccer (I know they have powerhouse women’s teams).

Is this part of the problem with  the USMNT? The ACC has always had great men’s soccer and sent many guys to the national team (NC State). I know the better route seems to be going to Europe and joining an academy, but maybe our big powerhouse sports schools could compete with that? Going straight to MLS is another option but also doesn’t seem great.

I know Title IX is an issue but why not add Women’s Flag Football and Men’s Soccer at these universities? Our college system worked for Women’s Soccer (obviously) - we just don’t really have a full men’s soccer college program in the US.  Might even be a revenue sport (I’d be surprised if Men’s Soccer at UMD isn’t making money).

Anyone know the history? Is it just Title IX?[/quote]
