    "...According to TheSoccerObserver.com, the split-season proposal -- in which college teams would play 25 games spread out over the fall and spring semesters with conference championships held in May and the College Cup in June -- is being finalized by a number of the USA's top college coaches, including, presumably, Yeagley........."

    Is this likely? And if so would high schools follow closely behind.

    As an example, when I grew up in Florida, there was not fast-pitch softball in high school. However, as soon as a few Florida colleges started playing, then high school softball became fast pitch in state. Also, I don't recall lacrosse as a high school sport in Florida until recently. Now that some of the in state University's play it (women's) more high schools have teams.

      Good point. Seems like it would also cut into recruiting.
