Too bad on the timing of all this for PSU - if they had gone looking a bit over a year ago they probably could have gotten Dave Brandt and soon...
I'm kinda at a disadvantage in that I've only seen Blades once - and yes, he was good but most of MLS appears to put a premium on big defenders...
This can only be true based a specific restrictive definition of "top" or "elite" schools. There were a number of schools in the USNWR Top-50 (or...
Nope - as pointed out, those numbers are specifically (and carefully) just for men's soccer coaches and assistants (shockingly, women's soccer...
OK - numbers. These are all Average (Total) Salary numbers, per the latest NCAA Gender Equity Report: D1 overall: Head Coach $78,600, Asst...
You're right, being denied tenure is technically not being fired - it is more a euphemism for a polite lay-off. You are effectively told that you...
Maybe - for a fairly small and visible minority of higher-profile schools - this might be at least somewhat accurate. However, for the vast...
Re: UNCG's coach suspended??? Um, no. Don't know what everyone expects, but that's pretty much right around the going rate for that job....
Is that usual? Well, let's just say that it is not unusual. Four players might initially seem a little high, but it could be one per class year...
Re: UNCG's coach suspended??? I wonder too, Kiddo. If only you knew... Look - UNCG & Parker fill that media guide with how much experience...
Re: UNCG's coach suspended??? Or University President. Something like this - and I have absolutely no reason to doubt that the incident was...
Rutgers? Reasso?? Does he really want to play D1 that badly (yup, emphasis on badly...). OK - if he really got into weightlifting that much...
And as far as that list - kudos! to all on the list (sorry - kinda an inside joke...). Other than that - condolences to at least half that...
Sorry for stooping to the obvious response, but - no duh! Basketball is often a revenue program and is a "traditional" American sport, so it...
You've gotten some darned decent advice so far (and SM and crew certainly do know what they're talking about). I'll give a couple of other things...
So many apparent misconceptions... College soccer will never be a spring sport (until global warming delivers average February temperatures in...
I tend to agree w/ you 9 outta 10 times (and maybe 12 out of 10 when it involves ST ;-) but can't on this one. For starters, it seems like you're...
So how many of those guys or their families are actually paying for that education out of their own pocket? $20-40K a year to play soccer isn't...
Mostly - what Dsocc said. Plus, we all so regularly carry on this same discussion about what are two practically orthogonal worlds... Pro...
Um, wait a minute - are you really saying that almost 1/2 of the entire planet - including both genders - are or have tried to become a...
Sorry, but clearly not a goal - assuming that the ball did not travel any further across the line and into the goal (and no, I have absolutely no...
And I believe I have to call on this one. Being a coach is many things - and the best coaches are way, way beyond just making a Final Four or...
Haven't seen him this year and in general I try to be careful with what I say about kids, but from what we've seen in the past I have to wonder...
