Even if we dont give a damn about soccer we could give a damn for the fellow ags on the field. We would be the absolute BEST college soccer atmosphere if we wanted to be. It's ok to learn something new, it's a great sport with huge passionate fanbases all over the world that bleed and yell for their teams just like we do for our. Every other country loves soccer and theres enough badass awesomeness here for us to decide we want to dominate that sport as well. There is a strong tradition of soccer in the US dating back before football was even invented as a novelty sport by college kids playing a loose form of the daddy sport.

Leave povertyball with the other countries, if you want to embrace a sport that needs support, you are welcome to join me at Olsen.

Now you have MMA and nascar to deal with as well. It has never broken into the top 4 spectator sports. Soccer has always been a novelty in the US. I would take exception to the idea this would "revitalize soccer in the states." Re implies it was ever vitalized to begin with. So the facility you are eyeing would be fully inadequate as a venue, unless you shut down massive sections and only hired a fraction of the workers. Why not use it more for things other than football?įor one, collegiate soccer wouldnt draw 20k people. Think of it this way, we use Kyle Field 6 days out of the year. Will this revitalize soccer in the states? Regardless of your feeling on soccer, which I get, the question stands. I'm a fan of opportunity and it sucks that opportunity has been sapped here in the states. Heh, I understand but I tell ya, this US men's soccer team has been fun to watch. I will concede that Congress hasn't had the guts to do anything about this encroachment on their power. Its been judges, government regulators, and university admins. Congress hasn't been the driving force behind Title 9 for decades. In other words, as either those regulations went away in later years or schools stopped abiding by them, courts got involved and said they must follow them - even though it wasn't statute specific. The thing most people don't understand about Title 9 is that what is being enforced today isn't legislation but regulations that were enacted during the Carter "administration" that courts subsequently upheld as having a legislative effect. In short there is no way the free market undoes a well entrenched government program. The more NIL money your football players earn, the more institutional money must be spent on the other sports in the name of "fairness". I could easily see the congress critters saying that schools must include NIL money in balancing total funds between men's and women's sports. If the powers that brought us Title IX in the first place start seeing it eroded through NIL you can bet that a new version of Title IX would be passed that takes into account the NIL money.
