[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I read somewhere that if there was a roster cap that it might push some high school players toward Junior Colleges where they could play, get stronger and more experienced, with the idea to transfer after two years.  I thought I also read that a player’s eligibility would not be impacted by going the Junior college route.  I also read that DIII schools might also become more desirable, however, the player would use up their eligibility playing DIII.

If the above is true I could see this being a positive for my player.  You could potentially break into a DI program after playing two years at a Junior College, potentially saving significant money on tuition, obtaining in state residency, and worst case get a degree from the DI school at the end of undergrad.  Then you would still have two years eligibility for a masters program somewhere else.

Anybody have any insight into the above as being true, assuming some sort of roster cap comes into being?[/quote]

Skip a 4 year college opportunity for Community College just to play soccer?[/quote]

Nobody said skipping a 4-year college.  It would be to spend your first 2-years at a JC, transfer into a 4-year institution to get your 4-year degree (counts just like any other degree given), and then have 2 more years of eligibilty for a masters program (which is frankly a bigger opportunity) saving more money and getting to still play four years at a 4-year college.

Unless you think going to a 4-year institutions as a freshmen has some sort of benefit that can't be passed up, it seems to me I would rather A) increase my chances of getting on a D1 program by playing two years at a JC, B) still get a undergrad degree from a 4-year college, and 3) top it off with a masters degree while still playing a full 4 years of soccer at a 4-year institution.

I think you might be thinking of opportunity in the wrong way.[/quote]

Yes going to a good 4 year college is a benefit that can't be passed up.  The Junior collgee idea is stupid if the goal is life -- maybe for soccer it is fine.[/quote]
