No it does not. I really do not want to see the stars stumbling around in the 110’ of overtime or getting injured. Unlimited subs with reentry for every level will be best for the players. As for the spectators one cares about travel soccers or the vast majority of college games. No one watches it because the pro game is some much better. Keeping the stars on the field in a state where they can preform at their top level will be enjoyable to the fans.

Being tired at the end of the game and not being able to sub players in is what makes non college soccer exciting.

Also if players never get tired (unlimited subs) it doesn't make any sense to do possession. Coaches can win just by having a bigger bench that never gets tired. Also unlimited subs SUCKS at the end of the game because coaches sub at every time they can just to waste time.

This will make college soccer 1000% better.

Now do the same with the women.

DP. No it does not make the game better. Did you watch the Euros? I want the best players on the field the legs to run. Unlimited subs with return specially with how many games the pros play.

There is no return to play in any level of professional soccer. It was nuts that we had U13 substitution rules that were more strict than 25 year olds playing college soccer. I'm actually for the return to play at younger levels and that leniency should dissipate as you get closer to professional level.

I'm with you. College soccer should mirror professional rules.

And, I think the same substitution rules are too strict at younger ages. For my son, next season at U15, there is no reentry. I think this is too restrictive for 14 year olds, especially when some haven't gone through puberty. The kids should still be getting game time to develop and this is another way the system slants the playing field toward early developing players. At 14, the coach's choice shouldn't be restricted to 70-90 minutes for some kids, and 20-0 minutes for others.

No reentry per half seems reasonable for u15 and u16 and no reentry seems right for for U17 when the kids are 16 and fairly level at their development stage.

The professional substitution rules make the game a more enjoyable spectator sport, with better quality players on the pitch.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Go watch Futsal or Baskeball if you like unlimited subs.

Stop trying to pervert Soccer so your kid who isn't very good can touch the field.

Reminder starting this year.

For D1 Men’s Soccer Only:

New Substitution Rule-

-6 moments you can substitute:
So you can sub as many as you want but only 6 moments to do so. Game management!

-no reentry on either half:
Before, you could reenter in the second half. This changes things. Less minutes for kids that fight for those 10-20 minutes because the starting group will go a long time before the coach has to take them out, if they go out. Game management!

Rosters of 25, will feel like rosters of 40 with this new rule. Great rule for the elite schools. Not so much for 98% of the schools out there and their kids.
