Soccer is that thing I had fun playing as a kid, but only enjoy watching the women's version for college.

Remember when Clemson fans used to be talking playoff matchups right now? Now you are talking men's soccer.

Because most of us dont want to watch a bunch of guys run around for who knows how many minutes ( only the refs know what time is left on the clock) and fall down and cry, like Lebron James, only to see 1 goal.

Title IX. It’s a giant joke we don’t get scholarship reform and an adjusted season. The SEC should absolutely have men’s soccer and it’s baffling how the NCAA doesn’t realize how much money they are missing out on.

Because, to add men's soccer right now, they would have to create additional women's sports to satisfy Title IX.

do you have stats now on how much money soccer brings in to universities who play it. Would be a loss in revenue is my assumption

Title IX. Most schools would rather cut their men's scholies is a shitty women's sport like succeer.

Why doesn't Clemson have a swim team?

u are too stupid to understand title 9 and what that would mean to a school.


You are missing my point about universities outside of the SEC having women's soccer, like Clemson.

I think it has more to do with SEC programs don't think they can be competitive in men's soccer, because you generally have to recruit a lot of foreign players.

Why did Clemson just start softball in 2020?

good question

part of it is we dropped swim / dive to have softball because the AD felt we would be more competitive in softball.

Why is Clemson so poor that they cannot afford to fund all those sports?
