BREAKING: College Soccer Gets
Full-Year Seasons & Pro Pathways!
Longer seasons, smarter regional matchups, and closer ties to pro and national programs are coming. Men's soccer will run August-April with a winter break, while women will get a new elite spring competition.
Modernized eligibility and transfer rules give players more flexibility, all aimed at healthier, more competitive, and pro-ready soccer.
I need to see the small print but seems pretty nice
Here's the thread that talks about this - none of it's guaranteed. It was all recommendations that were part of the NextGen Soccer Committee report. We'll see what sticks coming out of it.

Since colleges are now paying players. Pro teams should be paying colleges for the development of players turning pro. Do this and suddenly college soccer is self funding.
Pro teams need to get players somewhere. Paying colleges for developing talent might seem weird at first but what it will do is incentivize colleges to develop players to the highest level the way pro trams want them to be. When this occurs college teams and coaches that participate in developing to the highest level are rewarded for their efforts. What will happen is when theres money involved the end product will be a much higher level.
Now that college is paying players how long do you think it will be before the Euros start charging for their players?
Want to win in college its going to cost you.
Want to win as a pro team its going to cost you.
Now that the veil is gone college wont be able to hide. behind "amateurism" anymore.
True for football not futbol. Remeber every scholarship giving to soccer is one less for football. Also money paid to a soccer player is out of the same budget that pays football players
Brown egg football has no concept of teams paying lower level teams for developing talented players. Soccer does.
The only reason college got away with not paying for developed talent was because they werent paying players. Now that college is paying players Acadamies are going to start charging colleges for talent. You want to win? That's fine euro talent is no longer free. Oh and btw MLS is probably looking at something similar.
Colleges aren’t paying players. Sponsors and boosters are paying players in just a few sports. Because there is money to be made and eyeballs in those college sports. Sorry, soccer is not one of them.
You are wrong
Colleges will pay soccer players primarily through a new revenue-sharing model and by allowing them to profit from their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), not with a fixed salary. Under a recent NCAA settlement, some colleges can now pay athletes directly, with the average scholarship amount for women's D1 soccer being around $12,742 per year. However, specific payments will vary by institution, sport, and individual circumstances, as the new rules are still being implemented.
Can you take it to the right thread ?

For the girls theres a thing called Title 9. Which guarantees they'll be around for a long time
For the boys it will be interesting. If Acadamies decide to charge college for talent the NIL money might start going to Acadamies for players.

BREAKING: College Soccer Gets
Full-Year Seasons & Pro Pathways!
Longer seasons, smarter regional matchups, and closer ties to pro and national programs are coming. Men's soccer will run August-April with a winter break, while women will get a new elite spring competition.
Modernized eligibility and transfer rules give players more flexibility, all aimed at healthier, more competitive, and pro-ready soccer.
I need to see the small print but seems pretty nice
Here's the thread that talks about this - none of it's guaranteed. It was all recommendations that were part of the NextGen Soccer Committee report. We'll see what sticks coming out of it.

Since colleges are now paying players. Pro teams should be paying colleges for the development of players turning pro. Do this and suddenly college soccer is self funding.
Pro teams need to get players somewhere. Paying colleges for developing talent might seem weird at first but what it will do is incentivize colleges to develop players to the highest level the way pro trams want them to be. When this occurs college teams and coaches that participate in developing to the highest level are rewarded for their efforts. What will happen is when theres money involved the end product will be a much higher level.
