Season done thank goodness - 3-1 loss tonight at Colgate and we finish 1-15-1 (0-8-1 PL) - this program has been downright lousy for a long time

HS honors for players in weak soccer states btw are meaningless. There have been many All-Americans from weak states who were not good enough to attract any D1 offers.

Yes, we don't know the full story. Could have been as simple as wanting in-state tuition at an equally fine institution as HC. Injured sophomore year at HC, "Did not see action" freshman year.

Injured sophomore year at HC, "Did not see action" freshman year. Pretty sure her sophomore year was at Vermont. The HC player profiles are always a year behind. But in this case the wording on the UVM site shows you are correct. They only credit her freshman year as being at Holy Cross. It does show the challenges PL non scholarship teams have. I don't know how folks in PA. consider the quality of education between Bucknell and Penn State, but here in New England if someone was presented to me as a graduate of HC I would think "well educated" and if someone was presented as a UVM grad I would think "well educated" but UVM is much cheaper in-state.

After reading this there is no way to fault HC. She couldn't study exercise science in a School of Nursing at HC.

HC had a record setting QB who was pre-med and now he is Dr. Jeff Wiley. I understood that HC Soccer was all or mostly all non-scholarship anyway.

They believe they can find another student athlete with another major that can be just as good.

Bucknell for example has had many athletes in many sports who routinely missed parts of practices for academic reasons, often labs. There have been at least a dozen basketball players in that category, including Chris McNaughton and former POY Zach Thomas, both electrical engineers. Both of them showed up late for many practices due to academics.

Oddly enough, as to nurses, based on communications sent out by the college over the last few months, apparently HC has a fair number of graduates went on to pursue careers in nursing (although I don't know how many, if any, were athletes).

Shat you said was "Well, they are giving the student a full ride so they better be able to come to every practice and game." Didn't sound at all that your view only applied to "several" schools. Did you mean not allowing players to miss practices to apply only to nursing students, or should it also apply to engineering majors who must miss practices for academic reasons?

I know plenty of HC athletes who missed practices for labs, for late afternoon seminars and even for ROTC drills. I think that the problem with nurses specifically is that they are off campus, often at some distance and for a few days each week, during clinical rotations. I think it would be quite hard to manage although I am certain some athletes do it and some coaches make it work.

I had a D1 women's golf coach tell me in her first season I am never recruiting any nursing majors. I had to bring two of my bench players because they had nursing commitments on a Monday and Tuesday when the tournament was.
