This leaves Oregon with only one D2 school - Western Oregon. Who seems to be shooting for a 50 player roster next year.Comment

Very sad if you are a junior and have to find a new school. Hate to be any of the athletes trying to find a new home, their girls soccer problem was quite successfulOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How much do parents have to pay for their kid to play at Concordia?Comment

Quite a bit. It hurts now but this might be the best thing that happens to them. Maybe they’ll end up better off by focusing more on finishing their degrees and having a good life career. Kids are resilient and will be fine. I feel much worse for the staff who will all be losing their jobs, health benefits and possibly their retirement. While it is sad in the moment, plenty of other colleges the kids can go to to finish off their degrees and the disruption will only help make them stronger. The ones losing their livelihood are the ones I worry about more. This includes the coaching staffs.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If you google Concordia University women's soccer you get 0 returns about campus closing. Your second sentence is unnecessary.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This is really sad news and not just for the current soccer players. Just imagine for a minute:
Hundreds of employees suddenly learning they're losing their jobs.
Students who are on track to graduate having to uproot their education and find another
school.
Students accepted to the nursing program or law school or other grad degree programs (no easy feat!) who now have to find another program that will take them this late in the game and is a good fit for them.
Coaches learning they will lose their jobs right at the time when just about every program has finalized their staff for the next year.
Students who worked hard to secure a need/merit/athletic aid package to help them afford college, who are losing all of that.
Athletes who may well find other programs that are happy to let them come play, but who are way too late to secure any athletic aid.
Commits who worked hard to educate themselves about a school and program, spent time ensuring it was a good fit, signed just DAYS ago, and now have to start from square one.
A state the size of Oregon down to only one D2 school.
Awful news. Worse timing.Comment

It is terrible...
However, this is a result of an education system that sees learning and students as customers. Selling a product (education) trying to maximize profit. Telling everyone they need an education - because they needed the customers. Can't afford it, no problem, get a loan. Not unlike the mortgage loan scams that resulted in Great Recession.
A electrician makes 120k a year at age 22. They buy their own truck and a second and are making 500k by 30. But nobody paid to go to college to prop up a system that really doesn't provide society what it needs. It's not the 1800's where higher education is needed to educated a generation of engineers, or lawyers, or doctors, or military tacticians. The origins of colleges and universities.
You don't need to go to college to be social worker and the education for many jobs can be had through on the job training.
Now, add in people that pay too much for an useless "education" so their kid can play soccer...Comment
