NCAA is considering giving all D1 athletes 5 years of eligibility.


What’s the source for this rumor you’re floating?

This will make it even worse for the girls looking to be recruited.


They’ll have to play at lower program and use the transfer portal. Like the men.



There will be less players recruited out of HS if there are 5 years of eligibility.

They won't be getting scholarships. The rule is that schools are allowed to offer up to the limit. The only way that happens is if schools choose to use soccer to balance football for title IX.


Well, I think that answers the question about why Penn State recruits were decomitted.


The reasons for them being decommitted had nothing to do with scholarships, and everything to do with roster caps.

For the families that used all of their influence to shove their kids on the end of the roster at great schools...this will get very interesting. Not easy to cut a kid who's family is legacy and donated a bunch of money to the program.


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.

Yes it does.

There see I can make an absolute statement without anything to back it up just like you do.


No but you need proof; I don't.

From twitter...We heard from #22 and #23 player (15 are P4) that their verbal offer was pulled from a Big 10 school that had a huge 2025 recruiting class due to roster limits. If you were impacted or have had your offer pulled ping us as we might be able to help. This situation is brutal 😢


This is terrible. Like another pp said I really wish they would have rolled this out in phases not last second all at once.

And while some 2025s are being decommitted, there are 2026s reclassifying and committing as 2025s to big schools.

I get the UNC ones...their roster was gutted.
