Yes, D-1 has 14 women's full scholarships and D-2 has 9.9. But these scholarships can be broken into segments and given to players in partial amounts. So, each year, (something Lisa implies is for four years), 28 players could have 50% of Cost of Attendance women's soccer scholarships. That's right, COA which equals tuition, books, fees, room and board (at the colleges dorms, cheaper with roommates in an apartment), misc. like an occasional pizza and/or health/beauty products plus estimated travel costs to home and back. 50% equals more like 60%+ of real expenses. My DD's book allowance of $400 each year paid for all new books which cost 4 or 5 times as much.
Revenue generated by women's soccer doesn't enter into the fact that nearly any college program you select is fully funded. Only short-bus students aren't academically eligible unless they only took basket weaving in high school. Those that struggle to meet academic requirements won't make it through college. Most of the advice by Lisa is pretty much worthless.
