[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While this is really hard in the transition period, it is good for the sport overall. The huge rosters water down the teams. This is just simply raising the bar to make a college team and that is not a bad thing. Things change and they will continue to change. This is just one of those things. While it sucks for those impacted during the transition, it also creates tons of good. Better overall team skill/quality over time, coaches have to give more effort in recruiting to find the right players (less throwing darts on players 29-35 and hoping one pans out), etc. Other smaller schools and D3 schools can become stronger with new talent pools. Yes, there is also the chance some schools will get rid of soccer due this change. And that too can be a good decision if needed to be made for that school.  Talent bars raise all of time, in sports and in our work lives. In the grand scheme of life, this is a small hurdle.

With all of this said, My DD was impacted by this change and had her scholarship taken away. Things don't always go exactly like you hope. So instead of playing victim, she was proactive and pushed through, reached out to coaches she had built relationships with in the recruiting process and found a new place to land. Yes, it could have ended with her not finding a new team and ultimately not playing or playing for a smaller or D3 school. Either way, building life skills learning to overcome a setback is not a bad thing.

I still have doubts that the 28 soccer limit will be in place next year.  I think it is an antitrust violation in itself and will be challenged.  Also there is not enough time to get this ready.  I think this will not go next year.  [/quote]

I'm wondering how long verbal offers not being binding lasts. In most states, especially when confirmed by text, that's a contract. They aren't binding because of an NCAA rule. I'd like to see a player go after a school and a coach for breach just to see what happens [/quote]

nobody texts a verbal commitment.  it's a phone call or conversation in person.  verbal commitments mean nothing[/quote]

Coaches are careful as to what to say and commit verbally to. They add all the appropriate loopholes to the conversations. [/quote]
