Wow! I'm assuming the OT rules change has had a big impact on this.

Just curious, what the reaction has been to the OT rule change? Do we like it? Not like it?
What have you seen the overall impact to be? Is it achieving what the NCAA was aiming for?

I don't really have a dog in the fight.  I miss the drama of the Golden Goal; but, understand the reason for the change

@Ejay that's a good idea with the "Activities Fee".  And I agree I don't know that it is swaying a lot of recruits to go elsewhere.  But I can say as a lil' league coach and parent, I have definitely sent email announcements to teams notifying them of a game involving nationally ranked men's and women's teams and including a link to the live video feed.

I know this may not be the right place for the topic (if so, the admins will take care of it  )...

But I wanted to throw out my thoughts on the paywall trend on the college soccer scene from the national/international level

I'm assuming schools are viewing it as a way to boost revenue and also assuming they've looked at the metrics on the site traffic and how many views they got previously.  That's above my paygrade, so I'm not sure what kinda numbers we're talking.

But IMHO I see it as potentially costing colleges greatly in terms of recruiting and admissions.  If students, parents and (mainly) perspective athletes who live a significant distance from said college are blocked from seeing a game because of a paywall, that perspective athlete may be more easily swayed to look into a college without a paywall. A large part of recruiting in the D3 field falls on the shoulders of the perspective athlete/family.  Their ability to see a team play and evaluate whether they want to pursue that college may be significantly impacted by things as small as this.  I know this is small potatoes and if an athlete really wants to pursue that college, they won't be deterred by whether there is a paywall for viewing games...I just feel like it's working against those coaches and AD's (and Admissions) who already have a tough recruiting job.

Not living in these areas to get to these games, I can't speak to it...but can anyone weigh in on whether these schools are charging for admission to regular season games?  I feel as though that may have been a better place to start when trying to increase revenue.

Thoughts?

Is it snowing at Kenyon?!? I couldn't twll if that was like a CGI/Hallmark movie kind of thing haha

BTW can we talk about umbrellas obstructing the view of the live feed?! 

Calvin is up 2-0 with 24 minutes left in the first half.  I felt like CM has had some of the better possession;  but, Calvin has capitalized on their chances.  Mason Smith and Colin Iverson have combined for 1g, 1a each. And man, Mason Smith's goal was a rocket off the middle of the cross bar from in close.

Odd and interesting to me that not a single Messiah player made the list after the first team......agree with the first teamers, but I could list a few others that could have cracked the first team , and at minimum, should be second team or honorable mention....is this a means to share the love and not over recognize Messiah?  Of note, no Cole Christian?? I would also easily add Jarec Morlote to this list, as well as Trevor Swartz

Yeah, I noticed that myself and agree especially with Cole Cristian.  I think the ROY was warranted with Prex; but, I thought Patrick Lee might of at least made an Honorable Mention.

Kenyon in White and Greenville in Black
Raining and foggy but the field looks real good.
And Greenville makes a silly tackle in the box and have conceded a penalty kick 7 minutes in.
No arguing so assume he knew he fouled them.
Goes to the Keeper's right.   Keeper got a hand on it, but it goes in.
Kenyon 1, Greenville 0
Kenyon, in fairness has been controlling much of the play.  Greenville has been absorbing the pressure.  Forcing Greenville to chase
Like the announcer.
The Lords own the ball.  And slowly keep pushing Greenville deeper into their half.
And 15 minutes in, Kenyon goes up another with a ball that is centered into the middle that is headed into the back of the net for a goal.  Ball was taken from a Greenville defender who failed to clear the ball.
Kenyon 2, Greenville 0
I don't see Greenville having anything in their tool box that will help them recover here.  I think this game was over after the first goal.
They really havent been able to break down Kenyon that would get them close to goal.
Kenyon is closer to a 3rd than Greenville is to getting a throw  in in Kenyon's half.
Kenyon eating the outside backs alive.
I don't know if it is Greenville #20.  The left CDM.   I like him.  Think he can play and has ideas.   Plays the ball to the correct foot. Just not working for Greenville right now.
16 left.
13 minutes left in the half and Greenville commits a foul about 26/7 yards from the goal.  Four man wall just inside the 18.  Kenyon player hits the ball... through the wall? And goes to the Keeper's right.... Probably because he expected his wall to do it's job.
Kenyon 3, Greenville 0
Hey, Greenville got a throw in in Kenyon's half.
Game is over
Greenville just doesn't react.  Would have expected someone to get crushed on a tackle.  Something.
9 minutes left.
Thinking @PaulNewman must be feeling good right now.  Or is it the prescription meds his son gave him to get "through" the tournament.
And Kenyon gets a fourth.  Ball slotted to the side net to the Keeper's left.
Kenyon 4, Greenville 0
Serious, what is the record for most goals scored in an NCAA tournament game?
8 minutes left.
I am out of this one.  Seen what I needed to see.
Kenyon looks good and not allowing this to become a game.

Yup, this one is all over.  But I will say, Greenville's keeper is keeping this from being 10-0.  He guessed right on the PK and got a piece.  Just not enough he can do to stop everything Kenyon has thrown at him.

Wow! Greenville defender makes a really aggressive slide tackle in the box just a few minutes in resulting in a PK for
Kenyon before they had even taken a single shot.  1-0 Kenyon.  Not how you want to start if you're Greenville

Dujakovich to Gease for a header. 2-0 Kenyon 15 minutes in

Have conferences started handing out All-Conference Awards yet? Who's getting what? Predictions?
POTY? COTY?

I want to propose a show topic - The Impact of D3 Soccer On Mental Health

@PaulNewman what do you think? Haha

Being a Licensed Counselor myself, I think it's prefect timing with the bracket just coming out and the tournament about to start. The high's and low's as well as coping skills for dealing with them. Possible diagnoses to look for. How to help a friend or fellow D3Board poster who may be struggling
