[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every soccer team at every college loses money for the college. Every single one. International players are not about making money. They are about winning. Sports is about winning. If you aren’t doing everything you can to win then you will be replaced by someone who will. Sports culture is winning culture. Do we really want to make sports not about winning? Sports is close to the only true (not perfect) meritocracy around where performance is settled in the arena. Are people really saying meritocracy is bad now just because it’s in an area their kids can’t win?[/quote]

Then we have lost the plot for American college sports. I have zero problem with this for actual pro sports. But this is college. And considering several colleges don't even have mens soccer teams anymore (which is a topic for another thread), the opportunities are even less for US soccer players to play at the college level. Colleges are now hiring recruiting assistants from overseas as well (look at Missouri State who got theirs from Italy). American kids should have the opportunity to play at American colleges. I don't know any other country that would allow this on this level if the roles were reversed. [/quote]

So it’s about love of the game?

BS. It’s about winning until the system starts to work against your kid.

Get rid of recruiting, NIL and the portal and then get back to us. [/quote]

I have zero problem getting rid of NIL and the portal. taking your trolling somewhere else.[/quote]

But not recruiting? Need that hook?

So much for a level playing field.
