[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re doing lot of mental gymnastics to extrapolate how this US soccer/NCAA white paper somehow argues for BY cutoffs in youth soccer. But you can relax: I’m sure your July kid will make friends on an MLSN tier 2 team next year.[/quote]
Mental gymnastics? What does the first line of the US Soccer link say. Here I'll C+P it for you.

'U.S. Soccer Launches Committee to Provide Recommendations for the Future Success of Men’s and Women’s College Soccer"[/quote]

And the power conferences then promptly give their middle fingers to those "recommendations"

They basically run college football and basketball, with NCAA as a token governing body, what makes you think they would give a crap to USSF ?

Soccer isn't exactly the revenue generator like the bigger sports. If anything, the USSF would help take it off their hands.[/quote]

The colleges will not let the program be taken off their hands.  They would close soccer down first.[/quote]

I’m telling you though BY minus Fall semester guy is onto something here.  If only those handful of u19 college recruits that start in the Spring semester would have had their age cutoff align with BY during their youth soccer days, MLS would have more star players AND they could have played internationally, AND probably started on our US national team.  None of this could have happened if their age cutoff in youth soccer was SY.  It honestly makes sense when you put it all together.[/quote]
