This fall, I’ve heard from numerous coaches, both within our conference and across the country, asking whether D1’s proposed fall/spring soccer model could come to the NAIA.
I love soccer. I played it in college. But I’m firmly against bringing this model to the NAIA.
“Best for student-athletes” should be supported by evidence. Extending a season across both semesters has real consequences for their time and our already stretched SIDs and athletic trainers. More isn’t automatically better.

Correct; this will not isolate to one sport in one division.
I’d urge those with a vote to cast it in opposition to this move.
Joe D’Antonio, commissioner of the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA), one of the many opposed conferences, told The Athletic. “My concern, and the concern of the 13 institutions in the CAA, is that this is precedent-setting.”
In other words, they worry that if soccer goes to a two-semester season, several other sports could try to follow; resources would be strained; and the seasonal structure of college athletics could crumble.
Guys, there are 138 FBS programs and some really good players beyond the same 25 teams that are visited and talked about weekly.
It’s a three-hour show. Let’s spread the love, shall we?

25 years ago, history was made. 🐔🏈
On August 30, 2001, Ashley Martin became the first woman to score in an NCAA Division I football game with a kick that put her name in the record books forever.
25 years later, we’re still celebrating the kick that made history.

I was in the media center, story written; maybe easiest one I’ve ever done. Just needed post-race quotes; ready to get home at a decent hour.
Then, they made the announcement. “42, drive through penalty. Too fast on pit row”

Meet Dylan, who has gone viral today. He can recite the entire season schedule/results of any @nfl team since 2009. I witnessed him in action today at @playbyplaycamps. One of the most amazing things I’ve even seen!

They’ve been playing like No. 2 for the last decade, so this would be appropriate.

⬇️and we’ve only just begun.
I’ve been watching the college baseball regionals since 2000, and I can’t remember a day with this many upsets
Two of the biggest upsets (maybe the 2 biggest RPI upsets) in history
Milwaukee 238 RPI over Auburn 3 RPI
St Mary’s 14 RPI over UCLA 1 RPI
Best day of the year
