      Actually it does. You are seeing exactly what the players fundamentally are.

The creative, mental, possession style is at a big disadvantage because its more player dependent.
        Which is why possession style FlState, Stanford, UCLA have multiple national championships. And they rarely overload with subs.

          There will never be similar levels of players and coaches across the board. College soccer is about education first, not soccer. That is why Stanford,Duke,UVA,USC,UCLA,UNC and a few others that escape me can always attract top talent. If it was just soccer, other schools with less "prestige" academically like say FSU would dominate US domestic recruiting. Im giving you my opinion as to why these games are much closer than the theoretical ACC vs AN Other is supposed to be.

              Not really true. Drawing conclusions from a KO event is cool, but can be misleading. UNC has a ton of titles no?

                Just watch decision making. Execution can be excused for now. Just watch the games. Its great for kids to have the opportunity, but lets not pretend that soccer excellence is the focus. Its not and most of the games reflect that.

                  FSU does not want to dominate US recruiting (and they don't do badly with Howell, Nightwonger, etc.). He does not have to dip into soccer budget with internationals.

                    Not recently since the top level change over was to possession. Although, he did mix it up in 2019 finals.

                      You have to get to the KO event. You are not overhauling what got you there in the event.

                        The P5 league money distributed among the schools also helps.

                          Because he cant. Does not have a better mix than other schools. Its not about soccer.

                            Let's take UNC out of this. Didn't they get caught for lessening their academic requirements for athletes, like actually attend classes or doing the work?

                              Really, so you losing on pens to Stanford after a 0-0 game means possession soccer won?

                                I would like a bit of whatever it is in your coffee. At some schools, it is about soccer. And the industry here & internationally seems to think so as well.
