Quote: Another metric one could look at is recruitment of SC players by out of state universities. If you look at boys football, you find SC players rostered on many of the best prgrams throughout the country. Furthermore, many of the best SC football players who chose to stay in state at D-1 programs had many out of state offers. Can the same be said about boys soccer? In the last 5 years there have been very few SC who have gone to D-1 programs outside of SC? Much has been made about exposure on a regional and national level. Were many of the SC players who are currently on D-1 programs in the state recruited by top programs from around the country? If not, why not?
Could be a legit argument except for finances. Football and basketball are dealing with full scholarships. A SC soccer player looking at an out of state school is looking at out of state tuition plus the loss of lottery money.
A SC player who gets a 1/4 scholarship to say.....Winthrop. And if we make the assumption that the kid is a decent student and has earned the LIFE scholarship is looking at maybe $9-10 per year in out of pocket expenses.
Same player looks at......UNC Wilmington. Out of state costs probably in the $28-30k range less the 1/4 scholarship means out of pocket expenses of $22-23k.
Delta of $12k per year times 4 years is over $50 grand, when adjusted for time value of money.
Thats why you don't see many SC kids playing out of state D1.
Is it possible to offer an out-of-state student in-state tuition?
