UCF joins the Sunbelt for Soccer

[Cantstandza]

I know I'd have season tickets from day 1, and I suspect we'd average more than softball after a few years.
Not taking advantage of this opportunity would be USLing bigger than this athletic department has ever USL'd.
We have an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of southern college soccer in our own conference. To me, it's a no-brainer.

Timing almost always trumps preparedness.

Also have to keep in mind that the World Cup will be in the US in '26. That'll create even more soccer fans around here. I plan to take a leave from work during the Cup and travel from venue to venue. It'll be amazing.

Was a Marshall fan trolling RP? Good ____…let’s not forget what happened after that hit-stick we provided them on Special Teams during the ‘21 NOLA Bowl. I don’t think they moved the chains after that shot…soft soft. Will…imposed.

I like soccer but let's face it, the Cajuns will never have the money to start up and maintain the program. Attendance would also be very low. Go to any local high school game most folks don't care.

This is Louisiana's chance to get international exposure.

Initially the rest of the world may be more interested in this than US residents will be.

Does the rest of the world care about college soccer in enough capacity to make it any kind of revenue sport here. I don't think so. Quick, name a famous international soccer player that played in college.

The rest of the world cares about soccer period.

Once a few college players make it to the top, the rest of the world will be very interested.
