[quote=Anonymous]The bigger problem for college soccer is that most schools lose money on non-revenue sports.  I don’t think roster or scholarships make a bit of difference if the sport isn’t even carried at the school. Add to that the recent ruling that athletes can be viewed as employees, thus making employers (schools) liable for injuries on the job is likely to result in many schools just dropping sports altogether.  Add to that, that unless the school has a rich alumni like Phil Knight who will bank roll your programs, many schools won’t survive the next round of consolidation, travel and risks of operating at the status quo.  Title XI will preserve some women’s non-revenue programs since schools will balance the revenue generating men’s sports with non-revenue generating women’s sports. But schools that carry “Olympic” sports (get your fill this summer) may not be able to continue to carry +20 sports.  Soccer is not revenue generating on either the men's or women’s side.  [/quote]
