28 players is plenty on a college roster...the bottom third of the roster doesn't play and they don't get scholarship money anyway. College coaches aren't cutting their good players that play and get money. If your daughter was "prematurely cut" what did she lose...a bottom roster spot with no money? There a quite a few DMV parents paying good money to get that 28th spot at top ACC schools.

If the above is true I could see this being a positive for my player. You could potentially break into a DI program after playing two years at a Junior College, potentially saving significant money on tuition, obtaining in state residency, and worst case get a degree from the DI school at the end of undergrad. Then you would still have two years eligibility for a masters program somewhere else.


Anybody have any insight into the above as being true, assuming some sort of roster cap comes into being?

Skip a 4 year college opportunity for Community College just to play soccer?

Nobody said skipping a 4-year college. It would be to spend your first 2-years at a JC, transfer into a 4-year institution to get your 4-year degree (counts just like any other degree given), and then have 2 more years of eligibilty for a masters program (which is frankly a bigger opportunity) saving more money and getting to still play four years at a 4-year college.

Unless you think going to a 4-year institutions as a freshmen has some sort of benefit that can't be passed up, it seems to me I would rather A) increase my chances of getting on a D1 program by playing two years at a JC, B) still get a undergrad degree from a 4-year college, and 3) top it off with a masters degree while still playing a full 4 years of soccer at a 4-year institution.

I think you might be thinking of opportunity in the wrong way.
