[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These recommendations were made as a way to make the US more competitive in soccer? Ok, I get why US soccer and pro leagues would want that, but why is that of any concern or a goal for colleges? That’s not a goal for other college sports. This whole report seems like a pipe dream and I don’t see why colleges would do any of it. How does this help the colleges at all?[/quote]

A lot of what would be helping college, in particular on the mens side, is the trying to regionalize the play more so than it is now - I quickly read through, but the creation of regional pods that would play and a tiered system is a goal to try to cut down on travel expenses for the schools.  Then they would come together to play in a 64 team end of season tournament.

Also, spreading out the season to a Fall-Spring model can help schools again by spreading out the games over a longer period of time, thus lessening the impact.

It's interesting to see what they are thinking - I really like the longer season idea for sure.  I like some of the thoughts on more regional play.  While some things may be more pipe-dreamish, I don't think the season length is one of those.  [/quote]
