Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSoccer being pay to play, most girls come from better educated and wealthier families. Much more impressive for a player to go to Stanford and not play soccer than for the same girl to go to the UofO or OSU and play soccer, like the Thorns Academy player did. It’s girls soccer and no one cares even one year down the road where you played soccer. Where a girl goes to school impacts her career and entire life. Not knocking UO or OSU in the least. If that’s the best a girl can do academically, then it’s even more awesome if she can play soccer there too but, unless a girl plans to go pro, academics come first for almost all families.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMost student athletes aren’t smart enough to get into a top school like Stanford so congratulations to the Thorns player. I also know a lot of girls who put soccer as their #1 priority. On the other hand, lots of smart, rich girls play soccer but put academics first. Different paths for different kids. All paths can be happy.

Majority of players involved come from wealthier, better educated families. It’s a country club sport here, like golf and tennis.
Any lower socioeconomic good players have it made like the rich girls because they will get full financial aid and the rich girls don’t need financial aid so both can go wherever they want. It’s the middle/upper middle class that has to make college soccer compromises based on budget.
