The soccer proposal is not being portrayed accurately. Most importantly, the students want it.
The five spring contests are already in your budget: officials, trainers, turf, and travel. Rescinding the proposal doesn't save that money; it just means you spend it with nothing to show for it.
What the revised proposal actually requires is a minimum of three spring contests for postseason eligibility. Three. Not five, not ten. Schools are currently permitted five exhibition matches each spring, so three is fewer than programs already schedule.
Conferences can still hold their championships in the fall for the automatic bid. The only new pieces are a May national championship and one 15-day transfer window.
That's the whole trade: the same spring costs, with real upside. This is the accurate information. Rescinding the proposal makes no sense, either for the athletes or for the budget.
