@ussoccer strongly supports the proposed new model for D1 men’s college soccer. Given ongoing debate, we wanted to share why this matters, how we engaged in the process, how feedback/concerns influenced the final model, and what happens next. Here’s to growing the game together.

This is what NGB leadership looks like! Thank you @ussoccer for advocating for the players and for the game of NCAA D1 Men’s Soccer! A must read for everyone @NCAASoccer and @NCAA , especially the D1 AD's lobbying against a student athlete first proposal.

Well said Bob!! 👏
The soccer proposal is not being portrayed accurately. Most importantly, the students want it.
The five spring contests are already in your budget: officials, trainers, turf, and travel. Rescinding the proposal doesn't save that money; it just means you spend it with nothing to show for it.
What the revised proposal actually requires is a minimum of three spring contests for postseason eligibility. Three. Not five, not ten. Schools are currently permitted five exhibition matches each spring, so three is fewer than programs already schedule.
Conferences can still hold their championships in the fall for the automatic bid. The only new pieces are a May national championship and one 15-day transfer window.
That's the whole trade: the same spring costs, with real upside. This is the accurate information. Rescinding the proposal makes no sense, either for the athletes or for the budget.

Hi Derek so pleased you are passionate about soccer! Thank you! I won 190 matches at Creighton,played a minimum of 5 matches every spring, took SLU to final 4-won more conference championships than any men's D1 head coach-I beg to differ that I have no understanding 🙂

Wenn ich darüber nachdenke, was in den letzten Wochen alles passiert ist, finde ich es geradezu sensationell, dass wir immer noch kein Spiel verloren haben und sich die Mannschaft wieder und wieder auch durch die schwersten Situationen kämpft und immer wieder aufsteht, sich schüttelt und weiterkämpft.
Wir spielen ohne unseren Trainer, der in den letzten beiden Jahren immer vorangeschritten ist und die Mannschaft beschützt und angetrieben hat.
Ein Spieler nach dem anderen fällt verletzt aus trotzdem hörst du weder im Verein noch in der Mannschaft irgendwelche beschwerden oder ausflüchte.
Wir als Fans sollten unsere Mannschaft zu 100% unterstützen und Fehler verzeihen denn das Team gibt in jeden Spiel alles und das sollten wir auch tun.
Auf geht's #packmas 🔴⚪💪
WIR STEHEN HINTER EUCH!!

The schools that don’t sponsor men’s soccer need to worry about who and what they support, not men’s soccer.
Put the student-athletes first.

Reaching a national final does not guarantee a fairytale ending. In 1966, LIU reached the NCAA championship stage under a very young head coach. The journey included a dramatic semi-final and a championship match played in difficult conditions. After finishing runners-up, the dressing room was quiet and emotional, even though the season had already produced a remarkable achievement. The memoir does not reduce sport to trophies. It keeps the disappointment, uncertainty and lessons that sit around the results.
