Tough times, this is what I was referring to on another thread couple of days ago. Here we are debating about which league or showcase will draw more coaches but college athletic departments won’t have enough funds to run soccer and other non/less revenue generating programs if this continues.
I hope this ends soon and we all can enjoy soccer.

They will have less budget to attend individual player's games and will have to focus on showcases, the most bang for their buck.

I am not sure if the situation is as you outlined atlfutboldad, not sure if coaches would rally to keep these programs if they were not at risk. Cincinnati dropped its men’s program as you might already know www.si.com/.amp/college/2020/04/14/cincinnati-ends-soccer-program-budget-costsDon’t get me wrong, I don’t want any program to cease, quiet the opposite; I want more programs for our kids. |

Non-revenue men's sports are ALL at risk. Football, basketball and baseball are safe. Women's sports are largely safe because the colleges have to meet Title IX requirements for female scholarships opposite men's football/basketball/baseball.

Is baseball truly a revenue generating sport though? Seriously, I don't know. I've heard that it isn't and based on anytime I've seen it on TV, the crowds don't seem to indicate it either. |

Many colleges do pretty well at the gate. I don't know if it generates revenue (net), but it has to make more than most other sports. At some schools gymnastics earns a fair amount also.

UPDATE: On May 1st, college coaches issued a new statement applauding the NCAA’s commitment to student-athletes, following a productive meeting with the NCAA Division I Presidential Forum and Board of Directors.]

The one way we know collegiate programs generate funds is through TV rights. We can all do our small parts especially now. ESPN/FOX Sports has re-broadcast a number of Womens College matches over the past several weeks. Even if you dont sit down to watch them, set your DVR's and record them, all of them! I've gotten into the habit of doing it in the fall of course to bait my daughter into watching atleast a game a week, not easy to do in the age of social media, i know! But believe it or not viewership counts even if its recorded viewership. These broadcasters and conferences take notice, its a simple way to support women's collegiate programs during and off-season.
