Soccer is a growing sport, and making it go head to head all season with college football is dumb. We have really good fan support, but I know personally, I've made it less of a priority since adding football. That said, a big Saturday game in March, double header with a baseball game at noon? Sign. me. up.

Im split on this at a personal level, Ive always enjoyed college athletics as a whole and follow almost every sport. Now even paying attention to Marshall T&F more because a lady I grad with her daughter is on scholarship as a thrower (Discus, Hammer and Weight). Ive always liked how each sport is wrapped up as a neat package in 4 months or under.

But I understand Pita's response. Those who are drafted in the MLS are behind the 8 ball. They get drafted in Jan and don't play a game for at lest another 3 months. I see where only playing 3 months out out of the year can put you behind with the jump from college to pro and not playing full game speed for almost 5 months. Especially as the game and reaction time speeds up with the upped level of competition.

Respectfully every college sport is year round. We just don’t call it that. Soccer has one of the more active “off-season” of any sport. Charlotte plays a full spring schedule every year. It’s honestly dumb that these games don’t count.
