[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya’ll missing the forest. The purpose of ECNL is for college recruiting. It helps colleges find players and players find colleges. That’s why there are 44 teams in a “playoff”. Think of it like a job fair. If a player comes back from Seattle with several coach emails and invites (job leads and interviews), it’s a success. If the team wins but no coach interest it’s a failure. To the extent that winning is a goal it is only because it might enhance the true goal and give more chances for college interest. Those of you arguing over playing styles and tactics and national championships are so naive. [/quote]

Some of us care about quality futbol. The pencil-neck poindexters view soccer as nothing more than a vehicle for their upper class white girl DD to get even more privilege (ie better college admission), which is the actual reason the quality around here sucks.[/quote]

YES!!!!!!!!!  You now understand.  Why do you care about quality soccer?  Very odd.  The sport is not the be all and end all.  Sports are here to serve people not people serving the sport.[/quote]

How about next year we just hand you your participation trophy. Then we don't have to waste time actually playing games. We'll just take the 3-5k you'd spend on playoffs and hand it to some expensive D3 school recruiter and they'll give you a 5k scholarship to a 60k per year school. This way you can brag to your friends at the country club that your kid got a scholarship to play soccer in college.

See how it works when you're not actually trying to be the best and win national championships?[/quote]

There is no such thing as a D3 recruiter.  There are D3 coaches that are looking for players.  There is no D3 money at all.  You have a lot to learn.

In this area but not exclusively this area there are lots of girls that are great at soccer but school comes first.  D3 is not a bad word.  Absent the Ivys and a few others the best schools are D3. It is not all about the soccer.  DD had an offer from a high academic D3.  She had D1 offers but the schools were not an academic match.  Every other girl in that class for that team had D1 offers.
