On game day, go live stream the game, you decide if UT is the caliber DII team your kids wants to play for. Living in Tampa, my family has had a few opportunities to watch from the stands. IMO, UT is not very good, but better than Eckert (seen them too). They both play a similar style, 1980 something kick and chase. Not real possession or small ball, mostly very direct and over the top, hoping to get lucky and out run the opposing defense.
UT was better a few years ago with the previous coach.

As you can see, since the new coach took over in 2015, UT is mostly less than .500.
UT's AD should make a change.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDidn’t they just make it to conference final a year or two ago? Looks like having a good conference record this year so far. Getting a point from Nova is good result. So do you go on talking bad about PBA, Barry, Eckert, FIT... all the teams that Tampa is better than in conference?
Give it a rest.
The current coach has not improved since she took control of the team. Bring Gerry Lucey back!!!! Better yet, lets bring back a Tampa favorite.... George Fotopoulos

Not that I am against UT in any way but from what I have seen they are pretty middle of the road for both academics and soccer. For me the price tag just doesn't make sense. Pushing 30k/year for average just doesnt make sense to me. Could go a lot of places as an out of state student and still pay a lot less, and come away with a better experience.
lets be real playing for UT isnt exactly a professional or NT feeder system, at that point play intramurals and get a marginally better education for half the price.

100% agree
And if you are local, get away from mommy & daddy for four years. Your kid will be better off for it later.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostUT is very generous with academic money. Bright Future recipients receive an additional 15-18k. Add the BF money and you are right around 12-15k per year. If the player gets any athletic money and gets total costs down near 10-12k, you are right at what it costs for a state university.
The only real upside I see to UT is if you plan to live out your life in the tampa area (soccer related or otherwise) the local network it pretty good.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postwhile you are not incorrect the state schools also offer aid (while admittedly not as high dollar amounts the %rates are comparable... so the same student gets some academic based scholarships and is paying 5-6k out of pocket. Assume your kids parents are as broke as mine were, graduate 20k in debt, or graduate 40k in debt.
