[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take note parents of boys.  See how many girl commits come in vs boy.  It's a completely different ballgame.[/quote]

Why is this? [/quote]

There are 208 Men’s Division I soccer programs, versus 342 women’s. For the power 5 conferences, there are 29 schools that play Division I Men’s soccer, versus 64 women’s. That should make it clear as to which is actually the greater achievement, without even factoring in the significantly higher number of intl men’s players in Division I vs women’s.[/quote]

Yes. And don’t ignore football and basketball.  That’s where the $ goes for boys.[/quote]

It's basically a numbers game. There are a lot more spots for women than men.[/quote]

Not just spots, $$$ too[/quote]

Well to be more accurate, title ix requirements mean that there are essentially equivalent opportunities for male and female athletes when averaged across all sports. Men's scholarship opportunities are more widely distributed because of football primarily, resulting in fewer soccer scholarships.[/quote]
