[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congratulations to Loudoun Soccer and BRYC for placing so many players onto the No.4 VT Men’s Soccer team. Loudoun 3 and BRYC 1. That’s 50% of their recruiting class.[/quote]

Are they on full scholarship or is it coming out of mommy and daddy's checkbook? 90% of mens college soccer is an extended version of pay to play. Not as impressive  as a basketball player who gets 100% athletic scholarship. #food4thought[/quote]

This statement is completely clueless about how athletic scholarships work. Most, maybe all, Power 5 school scholarships are fully funded in football and basketball. That's not to say every player on those rosters has a scholarship, but teams have 85 scholarships to work with in football, and 13 in basketball.

Full scholarships are extremely rare in the non-revenue sports. In soccer specifically, the maximum is 9.9 scholarships in total for 25-30 roster spots.

The suggestion that a less than full scholarship for a top-tier soccer player is less impressive than a full scholarship for a basketball player at the end of the bench, who rarely plays, is foolish.
