Not as old as I look...and we were at SLU at the same time (not sure if that makes you feel any better or worse, but it DID motivate me to go to the gym today. Lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieBilliken Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Its sad whats happened to the program that I think Vedad and Tim Ream (Fulham) are the only active professionals left playing in a major league from SLU Reinert310 and Zink like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also heard a lot of professional leagues are actively discouraging kids from playing college soccer because the college schedule is so F’ed up that it leads to a lot of injuries and bad habits, etc. I love soccer but don’t follow as closely as I probably should. Can anybody with more knowledge confirm or deny this? I do know a lot of college coaches have been lobbying for schedule changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the far bigger and more pressing question hanging over men’s college soccer right now must be decided by a more powerful panel: The NCAA Division I Council, which was all set to vote this week on the “21st Century Model” proposal to extend the men’s D-I season to a two-semester (fall-spring) schedule, with potentially dramatic benefits for both the college game and American soccer as a whole. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, that vote has been tabled indefinitely. And as understandable as that is given the wider situation, it’s yet another delay in a reform effort that’s run some seven years – and literally can’t happen soon enough, given the aforementioned wider situation.
