Idk about this one personally, night games can alright but once it gets cold it really sucks and I personally haven’t met many players/teammates who like playing at night, would rather wake up and get to work ASAP also just at the usual rate lights might take just over half a decade here lol

Have we been unable in the past to host NCAA soccer matches due to our lack of lighting for night games,i.e., giving up home field advantage?

Who’s likely to step up in his place? Seems no real like for like out there. Maybe more 2 forward lineups with Tabora starting? Any other non-seniors possible to leave?

Nice looking class which brings a wide range of options for Coach Wiese and the staff.
Hopefully they hit the ground running and mesh with our returning veterans.

Nice to see. Can’t hurt recruiting either.

A true inflection point in the sport coming up:
This is where I will own up to being a naif on the matter: I don't like this move because it is a definitive step in the direction of college soccer's primary purpose being a kind of 'second chance' farm system for the pros. The really outstanding talents never go the college route in the first place, in most cases.
That might be good for those would-be pros, and it'll certainly be good for the coaches at top tier programs, who will become even more explicitly the development and scouting gurus for the pros and the gatekeepers to talent. And I have little doubt many of them will monetize that greater standing. I'm not saying Sasho is just in it for the money...but I'm not not saying that either.
To that, we can add this irony:

To that, we can add this irony: I am a tad confused as to which change you are initially referring to that makes college soccer more of a farm system which I definitely do not want. I see many MLS teams having like Columbus Crew 2 playing in other lower US pro soccer leagues and that is bad for soccer especially if the federation ever aspires to get on the same page with the rest of the world with promotion and relegation, which I doubt they ever will sadly unless it was in the far far future, but farm systems is NOT the answer. Academies sure, do it like Europeans who have soccer become their lives while you attend school or tutoring for an high school equivalency. Farming systems let teams throw offers to anyone and everyone and let them sit on talent and waste some people's lives (U23 or U19 teams is fine as well and a standard for overseas teams as there is an obvious cutoff of sorts). On the subs and lack of overtime change: I like them as ending in a tie during the regular season is fine and it won't open a hole into the underworld or apocalypse as some American sports fans fear lol OG ted lasso reference. Subs shouldn't be abused especially to waste time so anything to mitigate that is generally good and this is a step closer to more regular soccer rules which I think is especially if it continues to have a draft with some players prepping for the next level. And FIFA doesn't really care about the whole college scholarship thing cuz like you said everywhere else in the world going to college to play means your shot is gone already. And unless everyone misses an incredible top tier player that goes through the college system and graduates then FIFA won't care just like how they play fast and lose with the rules about letting the World Cup be hosted in countries with numerous human rights violations

I am a tad confused as to which change you are initially referring to that makes college soccer more of a farm system which I definitely do not want. I wasn't really talking about any of the things in the linked NCAA proposal, aside from the "no re-entry in 2nd half" rule. It's about the restructuring of the season: www.21stcenturymodel.org/model-structureStretching out the regular season in this way gives coaches more control - players are only "not in-season" from whenever their season ends in May/June to when they show up for pre-season in August. The change in the sub rules, meanwhile, will reduce the number of players who see the pitch and the resulting 'dilution' of minutes. This is a frequent complain of pro teams and their scouts: they want the prospects putting in a full 90, and they don't want to come to games only to see the 15, 16th, 17th guy out there getting non-negligible minutes and 'messing up the flow of the game' with his injection of fresh legs in numbers not feasible under pro/international soccer rules. I see many MLS teams having like Columbus Crew 2 playing in other lower US pro soccer leagues and that is bad for soccer especially if the federation ever aspires to get on the same page with the rest of the world with promotion and relegation, which I doubt they ever will sadly unless it was in the far far future, but farm systems is NOT the answer.

Gotcha didn’t see the specifics of the season restructuring but I don’t like it personally, current format is fine
