[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its so weird to me that someone would advocate that players would want to play in college but not play professionally.

Would you say the same thing about football, baseball, or basketball players?

Everyone wants to play professionally. Sometimes players never get the opportunity and sometimes they don't. But in a perfect world, if given the option players 9x out of 10 will choose to play professionally.[/quote]

The sports are just different.  Girl's soccer in the US at the ECNL/GA levels trends some middle class but UMC and just rich.  The women have other options.  Go to Duke and than a consulting form or investment bank or law school or med school?  Much better options.  There is no money in it except for a very few.  It is not like the NBA where Jeremy Lin thought he would try a couple of years and put off med school.  His minimum comp was 600k.  If that were the option you would see more women be interested.  Lin signed a contract that paid him a couple of million a year and then signed a contract that paid him 5 million a year.  Sure take that chance.  But it does not add up on the women's side.[/quote]
