[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting recruited to be on the roster at a top D1 school is great and all, but how much money do you think those players are really getting? The ones that have been in YNT camps are probably getting a good amount, but don't look at those commitment lists and think that everyone is getting a full ride. Players committing to mid-level D1 schools are probably getting a lot more of their education paid for than every single FCV player going to Virginia Tech. Either use the soccer to get as much of your education paid for as you can, or use it as a hook to get into a dream school.[/quote]

I agree that not every commitment means a full ride scholarship, but otherwise your post is misleading.  It is untrue that the majority of FCV players are going Virginia Tech, which is a good school by the way.  FCV players have commitments to many academically strong schools, such as Duke, UVA, William & Mary, Princeton, etc.

I guess I didn't write that very well. I didn't mean every single FCV 2019 player is going to Virginia Tech. I meant that, of the FCV 2019 players committed to Virginia Tech, not all of them are getting a full ride and may not be getting as much of an athletic scholarship as players at other clubs signing with mid-level D1 schools.[/quote]

I don't think anyone honestly interpreted your comment as "every FCV player committed to VA Tech". But, that ANY of the players were given full rides is also extremely unlikely. A college D1 school has about 9 scholarships for the entire team that are most often split up. If a kid receives any scholarship it is most certainly a partial scholarship and almost never a full ride. Your point about scholarships for those types of players at mid level schools is more likely the case.  [/quote]

This is true for all programs, not just FCV, correct?  When any local ECNL/DA/other club posts college commitments list, it does not mean that everyone listed got the full ride scholarship.  [/quote]
Being committed does not equal scholarship at all. Being committed simply means that the player will be on the college soccer team. [/quote]
