Message: [QUOTE="ZooCougar, post: 5318122, member: 296"] Men's College soccer doesn't matter and it's 100% a waste of resources. It's become a landing spot for foreign players who couldn't get contracts with pro clubs abroad. The best Americans don't even bother with college soccer. They go to an Academy and then sign a contract. If you end up in college then you are really no longer a pro prospect. Yeah, yeah a few get drafted every year but most get cut or sent down the MLS Next. Lacrosse would be kind of like hockey for UConn. There are lots of local players, but it's not like everyone is standing around hoping UConn would add it. They will all end up at the usual Lacrosse schools and life will be perfectly fine. I like Lacrosse, I played in high school and club in college. But in this era where we have NIL and revenue sharing, let's be reasonable and acknowledge that adding yet another niche and expensive team sport is probably an awful idea that should never see the light of day. Now if some rich alumni want to get together and fully fund it with an endowment and it's not hurting Basketball and Football then fine. Well first we should try to convince them to donate that money to basketball and football. [/QUOTE]
