    Men's teams = TBU mafia, Full of TBU players

    Women's team = Full of TBU players
    Full of TBU players? Less than 25% of UT's women's roster and less than 10% of the men's roster are from Tampa. Your grudge against TBU couldn't be more obvious. Sorry you couldn't make it there.

      If you look at many of the women rosters in Florida, they are full of foreign players. What's the deal? Are foreign players THAT much better?

They are ranked in the Top 25 in the country right now. They do have some international players rostered but the majority are from the U.S. When you roll in Prepaid and Bright Futures it's a great value.
        Hasn't DSB been at USF for many years. If her team is having a good season that is great but it not like she and her husband just started coaching there. Otherwise don't disagree with what you wrote, it makes sense.

          They can’t fill the scholarships with enough quality. Title 9 has created so
          many D-I programs for women that the talent level is watered down. D-II is more flexible in terms of being able to get internationals and there isn’t much quality left over after the D-I programs are done recruiting.

            No football games.

            Its extremely rare that a high level women's soccer program will allow their players to attend football games during the season. Would you let your players stroll around a college football game all day before a Sunday contest if you were the coach? Tailgates/drinking/craziness etc?

            If your daughter wants the college big game "experience" she needs to attend a school that has a high level "off season" team like basketball etc.

            I must agree with this post. Our daughter likes the soccer program and coaches. Like the poster stated a good academic/athletic balance. Nice campus too. However she didn't like the fact that academically it isn't as high as some of the other state and private schools. She also wanted a school with a football team. She's been to several college football games and wants that as part of her college experience.

                D1 sports is practically a full time job, especially in season. Coaches will tell you that college is comprised of three parts - academics, athletics and a social life. You can only do two. Guess which gets cut?

                  For many soccer players, soccer is a big part of their social life. They enjoying going to condition in small groups at the field on their own time, they socialise before and after the high school or club practices and games, and they even study together.

                    Our D is playing at a major D1 program and she said a big part of her social life revolves around the other athletes at the college. Her school actually demands that you live with at least one athlete from another sport (volleyball, golf, etc.) your freshman and sophomore years. The sports team all mingle and support each other - womens soccer comes out for mens hockey games and vice-versa, etc.. And of course, dating each other.

                        Due to limited boys NCAA scholarship opportunities don't eliminate NAIA schools. There are several top quality schools in Florida that play D2 schedules and have PLENTY of money to go around as they do not abide by the NCAA format. If your son is better suited for small campus life then these schools are great options to get a great education and play some quality soccer that doesn't become a full time job. It is very common to receive 50-75% of your tuition for a good scholar athlete. Add in your Florida Resident ($3500) Pell, bright futures and any other scholarships and you can very well be close to even, trust me!

                          The lawsuit against Harvard will be heard on Monday. How will the result affect admissions for Florida's colleges? Should race or ethnicity be a consideration in university admissions?
                          Kavanaugh is expected to be against affirmative action in college admissions.

                            Affirmative action is bad. All affirmative action does is lower standards.

                              She has gotten them to NCAA tournament last 3 out of 4 years USF has been in top 25 all year long. UCF program very good also they are also in the top 25 and played a great no conference schedule at beginning of year. FAU is having a great year if they beat North Texas will win conference. FGCU very good every year their coach is wonderful they should win conference and get NCAA bid. FIU is not very good they have lost every game and have 1 tie.Thy are in same conference as FAU. Surprise is Florida this year they are down and have lost many games. Miami is up and down play in tough conference. FSU always good. Great division 2 program Rollins.
