At 236 rescind votes, and 241 nearing....it's important to note that 41 of the last 50 rescind votes don't sponsor Men's Soccer. Dark day for @NCAASoccer. Admin friends calling friends is ending an attempt to provide a better soccer experience for 5600 D1 Mens soccer athletes.

Hey Brian, listen to JFK please..."if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem"
It's obvious you have not studied the model or talked to your players or coaches in detail about solutions! Congrats on your Club 241 membership.

62% of Division I schools have now voted to rescind the half-baked Men's Soccer year-round competition proposal. This is at least the third time that membership has rejected this concept, but somehow our governance process still requires that we find 18 more votes to kill it.

Last summer, the World Cup reminded us that soccer can bring us together. In recent weeks, we have used soccer to pull college athletics and its soccer community apart. We deserve a better conversation.

Rob, well said from an educated insider (MSOC committee member) and a person that understands the merits of the model and its holistic intent. The lobbying campaign of 'club 241' will succeed...unfortunately...and shame on all of those AD's and commissioners! Dark day for SA's!

Committee approval. Cabinet review. Sent back for clarification. Committee reaffirmation. Cabinet approval.

The flex model cleared multiple reviews and approvals. 95.5% of our players support it. Why are we still trying to stop it?

It’s time to move forward.

The Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association is making an effort to rescind the innovative split-season model that will improve student-athlete well being. Swipe to see my response.

[Sasho Cirovski @SashoCirovski]

This is what NGB leadership looks like! Thank you @ussoccer for advocating for the players and for the game of NCAA D1 Men’s Soccer! A must read for everyone @NCAASoccer and @NCAA , especially the D1 AD's lobbying against a student athlete first proposal.

[U.S. Soccer @ussoccer]

A note from our COO Dan Helfrich about why U.S. Soccer believes the men's college soccer model should evolve and current modernization proposals should advance.

[Scott Kull @scottkull]

In the last 4 champs 16 College Cup berths went to 16 diff programs. That includes Furman, Vermont, Marshall, Denver, Creighton and Saint Louis. Evidence that reaching the nat semis isn't limited to the traditional ACC and Big 10 powers. This is your effort to minimize us. 👎🤥

[Sasho Cirovski @SashoCirovski]

Thank you Dan for your leadership!! 🙏🏻👊
For the players and for the game!
A must read! 👇

[Dan Helfrich @dhelfrich21]

@ussoccer strongly supports the proposed new model for D1 men’s college soccer. Given ongoing debate, we wanted to share why this matters, how we engaged in the process, how feedback/concerns influenced the final model, and what happens next. Here’s to growing the game together.

[Sasho Cirovski @SashoCirovski]

None! Consistently over 92% of our coaches have been in favor!

[Michael Prunty @CoachPrunt]

Has there been any coaches at this level of men's soccer come out against this proposal?

[Sasho Cirovski @SashoCirovski]

Well said Bob!! 👏

[Bob Warming @BobWarming]

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.

[Brian Hardin @DrakeADHardin]

Sorry, I completely disagree. The proposed model will strain our overworked support staff. It will add to our budget challenges due to travel and indoor facility rental. And who is asking for outdoor soccer matches in the Midwest in February?! I ask D1 ADs to join me at Club 241.

Carlos Somoano (men's coach at @UNCmenssoccer ) makes the ironclad argument for upholding men's @NCAASoccer calendar reform — splitting their compressed fall season into two — in this article by @danwoog
