They should absolutely be able to compete. The difference now is that the league has some very good and hard working coaches. KM, SD, CH, TB. Even the bottom teams have improved. Some disadvantages for sure, but built in advantages as well. Who wouldn’t go if they could get in and it was affordable? Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postof course they should be competing with any P5 that does not have a half decent education to offer. There are so few top level players that once you move beyond 10 schools the rest are pretty interchangeable. Talent is still in short supply. An Ivy education will appeal to enough talented players to beat the kind of schools listed above.

BTW, the academics are no joke to manage. Ivies do give the best financial packages for sure. I've seen a few kids not manage it well and struggle mightily. You want your kid to have the right fit and enjoy their college years. It's not about you Mom or Dad.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthe kids that can go to Duke, UVA, UNC, Stanford, UCLA, USC and a few others on the back of soccer ability usually want better soccer than any Ivy can offer so they will pass. Those schools would beat a Brown 9 times out of 10. I think outside of the top soccer schools, an Ivy can compete if one or 2 kids happen to prioritize education.
