Anyone who sends their kid to college for the soccer program, rather than the educational and other benefits, is an idiot.
Why?
1) Because the vast, VAST majority of college soccer players will never make a dime playing professionally.
2) Because injury/illness/coach's decision can effectively end a playing career at any moment.
3) Because coaches and schools part company on a regular basis, and when the one who recruited you leaves, what THEN?
Shall I continue?
Finally, for the fool who quoted records in denigrating a specific program, records come and records go. Great athletes, real difference-makers, change the culture and change the record.
And that process generally start with one coach and one kid.
