In my opinion, it will be a case by case for each school and their budgets designated for the Soccer program..I think 2022 And beyond maybe more effected than 2021. 2021 the coaches and schools will honor their verbals mostly, while cutting back in future recruits.
D1 college soccer under threat
- Thread starter jpeter
- Start date
I have an idea. Each college program has a travel team ((scholarship player)) and a practice team. 22 on the travel roster and 18 practice players. 40 girls for each program. Home games all the girls can suit up. Some PT might even be able to crack the travel team because of injury or some girls quit. All the PT parents can "buy" the spot. This is the way to raise funds for the soccer program.
Most housing contracts were already signed when lock down came, one reason so many kids are at school doing on line leaning instead of from home. $$$
State College, PA - Penn State Athletics Planning for Furloughs -
Penn State Athletics is preparing for furloughs across the department, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Sandy Barbour told department employees during a Zoom call on Wednesday afternoon.www.statecollege.com
The aftermath that will hit ALL athletic departments soon. WCC doesn’t have football but lost money from the cancellation of the Basketball and continue
To lose money in housing and tuition.
We have always focused on academics! This school year will be tough for that. If you are a senior you have three solid years of grades. Sophomores and Juniors will really have to step it up.

DD’s school now fully online through September due to many Covid cases after two weeks of school. Practices are also on hold. School Newspaper blames the school for a poor plan and absolves student responsibility by saying if the school can’t have a plan that works how can you expect students to behave responsibly. This sums up with what is wrong with the world. People need to be responsible for their actions. If students actually wore masks, did not go to large parties, and actually did their daily health checks I bet their plan would have worked. It’s always the few that don’t give a damn that screw things up for others and then blame them too.

with colleges losing millions in the loss or housing and revenue from football it will be hard to believe there will be any money for 2021 and on recruits. I can see current juniors graduating and the scholaregion unit attached to them Vanishing.
Bingo!!!

There are minimums in sports by gender and scholarships per gender that schools need to meet to remain D1 but those minimums are substantially lower than the maximums allowed and what most schools currently fund.

The human brain isn't fully mature until age 25. Anyone who believed that young adults would act responsibly has never been a young adult....
Continued good fortune to you and your player.

The good news is that most cases of myocarditis are mild. Also, it's recommended that if you have myocarditis you refrain from competitive sports for 3-6 months to reduce your risk of sudden cardiac death.

New Insights on How COVID-19 Causes Heart Damage
“The sarcomere disruptions we discovered would make it impossible for the heart muscle cells to beat properly,” explains Conklin, who is also a professor of medicine, cellular and molecular pharmacology, and ophthalmology at UCSF.
The scientists also noted that the nuclear DNA seemed to be missing from many of the heart cells. Without DNA, cells can no longer perform any normal functions.
“It’s the cell equivalent of being brain dead,” adds Conklin. “Even after scouring scientific literature and conferring with colleagues, we cannot find these abnormal cell features in any other cardiac disease model. We believe they are unique to SARS-CoV-2 and could explain the prolonged heart damage seen in many COVID-19 patients.”

Cross posted from another thread since I wanted to better understand Myocarditis:
I’m glad this was brought up, it is important to understand Myocarditis (from Myocarditis Foundation):
The most common cause of Myocarditis is a Viral Infection. acute Myocarditis is a well known complication of influenza infection. The clinical expression varies from asymptomatic to fulminant myocarditis, which can result in severe hemodynamics dysfunction, necessitating high-dose catechilolamimes and mechanical circulatory support.
Many viruses are associated with myocarditis, including viruses that cause the common cold (of which are 5 existing Covid strains that predate Covid 19), Covid 19, hepatitis B and C, parvovirus and herpes.

Interesting the timing of this article:
Article released after the positive meeting between the Big 10 Commissioner and President of the US.;
And, where's the study from the other college conferences that are playing? Of the 30% of athletes who have this, what is the result?

What do you mean by "what is the the result?" beyond the result that the athletes now have a heart condition that, under any circumstance, would have put them on the shelf for a time?
And are you asking about the "study from the other college conferences" that shows that it's safe for them to play? Asked another way (which may be what you are asking), does such a study exist?
I was listening to the radio today and there was a report that 8 Nebraska football players are suing the Big 10. I am really surprised that they could find counsel to take on that fight. I have not read the complaint but if they are asking the court to require that the Big 10 plays, I can't imagine that there would be that many winning legal arguments given the uncertainty of the science regarding the level of risk to the athletes.

The article I posted never used the word Myocarditis (i.e. heart inflammation). It describes the heart infection (what causes Myocarditis) as unprecedented.
"Even after scouring scientific literature and conferring with colleagues, we cannot find these abnormal cell features in any other cardiac disease model. We believe they are unique to SARS-CoV-2 and could explain the prolonged heart damage seen in many COVID-19 patients."
The Myocarditis is the warning sign, and we have no idea whether or not it will go away quickly (like the seasonal flu), or will be more prolonged.
In fact, the Myocarditis Foundation also posted many articles saying while Myocarditis is seen in 20 - 30% of recovered patients it's too soon to draw any conclusions about recovery:
Myocarditis Foundation Articles
Implications for long-term COVID recovery
"There are no data on how acute treatment of COVID-19 may affect the convalescent phase or long-term cardiac recovery and function. Myocarditis from other viral pathogens can evolve into overt or subclinical myocardial dysfunction, and sudden death has been described in the convalescent phase of viral myocarditis. This raises concerns for patients recovering from COVID-19."
