If they have have great grades, it’s easier cause they coaches can get them some academic money and save some soccer money for another recruit. Nobody cares how you spilt it up exactly. $$ is $$.
If you think those players from USA GDA that are playing on national teams are getting only 50% you are wrong.

Just put a qualifier or two in front of your blanket statements because it’s not accurate to say “all players” or to just pick the 50% number randomly out of thin air the way you do.
Say most players or even the vast majority of players.
Don’t throw the 50% number out like you know what you’re talking about.
Reality is that the process is not arbitrary and varies greatly depending on what particular school, and whether it’s public or private, how good the player is, and how bad the school wants the player.
You are certainly correct that coaches try and maximize those 14 schollys and slice them up as much as they can get away with....and still get the players they want. Good grades certainly help and give both the coach and player more flexibility.

A coach once described his scholarships like a bell curve. At one end are the 1-4 players he'll give 75%+. The other end are the ones that get 20% or less (he can split one scholarship across 4-5 players. The bulk of the players fall in the largest middle portion of the curve with 40-60%.
Men is a different animal - only 9.9 scholarships to divide vs 14 for women and most programs will have 4-8 international players that get a good portion of the $.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's all about targeting - if you're one of the true top players on a roster you may get well over 50%, closer to 80% or more. But you have to be outstanding relative to your teammates and a true difference maker/team can't live without player (or starting GK). However, that could come with compromises like the quality of the play or even quality of the school. So would you rather get 45% at a different program where you're still going to play more of the time but it's a more challenging conference or the school is better for you?

Good break down and explanations.
No absolute this or that. No “everyone gets this.” No “all players” this or “all players” that. Different schools, different conferences, different players, different positions are all....treated differently. Imagine that.
