so then whats the big deal with CFC United's commitment list every year? are you saying that none of the bestest class ever got fulls?
thats a shame

Getting a large portion of your college education paid for is still wonderful.

This is 100% accurate. Athletic fulls aren’t happening around here despite what anyone says. People are clueless.

CFC had a few athletic full rides in this year’s graduating class. Definitely two of them not paying for college. It’s unicorn situation but top players in women’s soccer being recruited by big programs can definitely get full athletic rides.

Most CT players go off to mid major programs and most don’t have the funding to match that.

I do like how you are so confident in your statement you are most definitely wrong.

Still waiting to see the 2003 commit list for CFC. They put almost all their eggs in this basket.

For middle to upper income families, using soccer to get into a better college is even better. Getting some of it paid for is icing on the cake.

The 21s (not all 03s are 21's) really got screwed by Covid. If they weren't recruited by March they had no chance for extra looks at showcases or ID events. If more of them are D3 level (as some claim) they normally would have finished up with that spring/summer. This was also the first class to get hit with the elimination of early recruiting.

Fall will be the test - NLIs are normally signed in November for D1s and applications are due for ED/EA D3 recruits. But between the lighter talent level and Covid, this will probably be CFCs weakest list yet

I hate to burst your bubble, but even these 2 “unicorns” aren’t going to college for free (and I’m a big fan of both by the way, so don’t think I’m a hater). The sooner people understand the harsh reality, the better.

Listen, it’s simple math and once you analyze rosters it’s pretty easy to figure out who (if anyone is even potentially getting a full). Full rides are extremely rare in college sports, especially in women’s soccer. Unless you’re talking about a D1 head count sport like football or basketball.

Let’s use the UofM as an example.

They have 34 players on the roster.
Check out the resume of some of these players on the roster. (To save you some time, here’s a hint...check out #1, #2, #8, #10. If anyone is getting a full or close to a full it’s these types of players).
They only have 9.9 scholarships to hand out. That’s it, 9.9 out of 34 players.
Now peruse the resumes of some of the remaining 30 players on the roster (other than the 4 I mention above) and think about who would be getting a “full ride” as everyone loves to think is happening.

65% of that roster isnt getting a dime of the 9.9 scholarships

Lol, ok thanks for the well thought out response. Took you a minute or two to determine that? Well done, you must be a D1 assistant coach in charge of recruiting at a big time program.

not the poster but for mens it's most nickels and dimes. There's fewer scholarships to divvy up per program. International players will get top $ because most won't come here and pay our exorbitant tuitions. Give another close to full grant to the starting GK and a coach is left with 4 - 5 fulls to divide between 15-20 others.


Women's not only have more grants per team but international players aren't as big a factor (but it is growing). Fulls athletic rides aren't common but schools can carve out a total package to reach that. The average for a typical female player is more in the 40-60% range. Top studs get 70-85%

Full athletic grants can happen but they still are quite rare. Combining with merit and financial aid can get you from a very good partial to full(there are rules in how it can be combined). Parents will brag about a full ride but its rarely full athletic.

Thank you, you are correct. The other poster is misinformed.

The big deal is being able to land on those rosters at all. Not the idea of getting a fully paid scholarship (mostly a myth), but getting any kind of money at all and getting recruited. It’s not as easy as you may think to land on a D1 roster or to get noticed by a D1 coach. Especially for a CT player. So yes, CFC does very well in this area. Even FSA does ok; the ECNL badge helps with that. Is it possible outside of this league; of course it is. Oakwood, Yankee and Sporting have had kids go D1 too. But it is a harder road for some clubs.

those are all fair points

each step for these kids is important-as there are few of them
some get youth honore but not the majority
they get HS honors- yes those are important as well
some club league honors- not all league do this
then the offer from a college coach- every step is important to them

we talk about academic $$$ like its a bad thing-it isnt

they cant pull academic $$$ as easily- maintain a GPA and its guarenteed
Athletic money for the most part is a year to year thing unless its in you deal
