The coach will get fired before donors kids will be cut. Soccer is a non-revenue sport, donations are the closest they can get

Used to be that way but now revenue is being shared. Who knows how this will shake out.

Although in general I agree a 200-300k donation will likely keep the kid on the roster.

I thought those donations didn't happen any more after the Varsity Blues scandal...

Varsity Blues was about parents giving money directly to coaches + the coaches would pocket the $$$ and give the kid a roster spot which would get the kid into the school. Most of the time the kids involved with Varsity Blues couldn't even play the sport they were rostered for.

The issue wasn't parents "donating" $$$ to get their kids into a school. The issue is schools weren't getting a taste of the action. It's completely OK to bribe a school to get your kid in. It's not OK to bribe a coach to get a kid in because the school doesn't get the money.

Ok so there are parents paying schools to get their kids on rosters ??

Yes colleges are just like private schools only on a larger scale. Also parents don't pay colleges to get their kids on rosters. The very thought of paying a college to get your kid on a sports roster is absurd.

Rich parents provide endowments to schools out of the goodness of their hearts. Endowment is a fancy word that means donation but with strings attached. Maybe an endowment for the advancement of female soccer initiatives. Which translates to a new club house for the players. Wink wink totally not provided to get someone's kid a roster spot on a college team.

This does not happen. People think it does but it does not. Otherwise every school would be full of those kids and that is not the case --- unless the kid for soccer has also been ECNL. So rec girl is not playing soccer for a top college because her parents gave money.

Happens all the time. Keep pretenting that it doesn't if that makes you feel better.

Rich people expect something in return for donating and being a part of a colleges boosters club. Just like ECNL parents expect that their kid will play D1

Happens at the Ivy level. There are some water bottle fillers because dad and grandad were big donor alums and dad played there….even if kid is no good. These kids never see the field.

It does not. Name the player. People think the fix is in everywhere. The fix is in almost no where. I come from a place where everything is fixed. It does not even happen there anymore.

No they are not. This is nonsense. Not happening at D1 schools or at D3 schools.

Donations mean nothing for teams. It has always been thus except for some people in fantasy land who like to think mean people with money buy everything. They would if they could but they cannot.

It's funny how things are fantasy until people get charged, then they go back to being fantasy once people forget

No one was ever charged with this. Varsity Blues was bribery to the coaches. That does not happen much either and certainly not anymore.
