It was very obvious last year that no matter how well he played he wasn't in the mix.
Really? I seem to recall Robby played in NCAA Tourney matches v Villanova and Indiana, among 12 other games throughout the season and was allowed to contribute. I'm not sure how he "wasn't in the mix".

OH, DARLINGCeltic’s move for Portland Timbers star Darlington Nagbe could cause USA rift...If ten-times capped Nagbe signed at the start of next month, he would be whisked off to Celtic‘s winter training camp in the United Arab Emirates.
But if he insisted on attending Arena’s US camp, he could feature in the Scottish Cup tie against Albion Rovers and the league clash v St Johnstone, but could miss up to three games against Hearts, Aberdeen and another game with St Johnstone.
However, Celtic could put their foot down and not allow Nagbe to leave for the camp because the games aren’t on FIFA dates.

AFC Cleveland has been awarded the privilege to host the 2017 Hank Steinbrecher U.S. Soccer National Amateur Championship, taking place in June.
Great news given that two of the teams that will be participating - AFC Cleveland and the Michigan Bucks - usually have current Zips Mens Soccer players on their rosters.

some excerpts
...The NCAA knew the field conditions in Houston were garbage. It adroitly moved the women’s College Cup from North Carolina over the HB2 bill, but did not feel a similar move was necessary for actual on-field concerns in the men’s game. Vocal opposition helps, and it would seem that paradigm is shifting. Muuss’s words were not said in a vacuum, and the field was simply a single glimpse into a world the NCAA as a governing body has ignorantly neglected. ...
Part of the hang-up is in logistics. The NCAA continues to insist changes at the DI level trickle down to DIII, which doesn’t make sense. A DI men’s roster choked with high-profile DA players does not need (and should not have) a full rotating substitution rule in place. But if you change the rule set to FIFA regulations (including a normal clock, a lengthier schedule and no extra time during the regular season), under current auspices a DIII women’s program would have the same rules in place. There’s no reason to not split off the DI game from the rest of the pack, but the NCAA has been reticent to act.
And therein lies the trouble. The NCAA continues to prove it cares little about the college game, which has been particularly mettlesome in men’s soccer development. The 18-22 age range are practically lost years for men’s players, and regulatory bloat meant the college game had little role to play as an institution in righting the ship. And so we await change while looking to the scions of the college game to continue to beat the drum.
Luckily, it would seem those drumbeats grow in volume each year. ...

Jeremy Pollard posted this on Instagram today...
jeremy_pollard Looking back at the past year in Akron I couldn't of asked for a it to have been any better. The people I met will forever have a place in my heart and so will Akron soccer. I've made life long friends and I can honestly say this has been the greatest year of my life so far. Unfortunately it's time to move on from Akron towards a new chapter in my life, but I will always remember my brothers in blue and gold who helped me become a better player and person everyday. Good luck to you all in the future, I'm sure we will meet again. And you know what they say ... it's always a great day to be a zip ?⚽️? #reggieisstillugly

Cicerone only other MAC player. Does this signify that Adam is headed overseas? I hope he has a realistic direction and guidance.
I don't think it necessarily signifies Adam is headed overseas. I think the NYRB still have Adam's homegrown rights. No reason for HG's to participate in the Combine.

The words STUDENT ATHLETE is something you hear from many of our coaches continually. It makes me proud to be supporting these kids.
One thing is certain. You won't ever see any of these 3 guys sending out "We Ain't Come To Play School" on their Twitter accounts.
http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/releases/20161206g1cojo
Danilo Radjen, Sr., 3.696, Exercise Science/Physiology
Brad Ruhaak, Sr., 3.651, Mechanical Engineering ... not only played for Zips Mens Soccer but also for Michigan Bucks, co-oped and was in the UA Honors College. (Very deserving to be the student speaker at Saturday afternoon graduation ceremony.)http://www.mac-sports.com/news/2015/12/20/GEN_1220153529.aspx?path=fhockey
Noted last Fall *Victor Souto, Akron, Junior, 3.829, Business (Sao Paolo, Brazil)... so far from home and English is this young man's 2nd language

several zips are included in the 11 protected
and several zips are protected due to being home grown or generation adidas
More stupidity from MLS. Minor - Wil Trapp is a homegrown; why is he not listed under that heading for CrewSC? Major - Chad Barson is out of contract with CrewSC. If they have no intention of signing him, he should not be protected just for being a homegrown; MLS should not be allowed to completely control players like this. My understanding is that CrewSC still owns Ben Speas' MLS rights. So, even though Ben played for Minnesota in 2016, they would have to make a deal with CrewSC for Ben to play for them in the MLS in 2017.

I hope the NCAA is proud of that crap show. Horrible field, horrible referee, horrible soccer, and the champion of PK's. Awful.

If MLS Cup final and College Cup are going to be on the same weekend, perhaps they should both be in the same location...probably not a good idea. Actually, I don't understand MLS Cup final and College Cup in same weekend this year. I'm glad that didn't happen last year so that I could attend both.

Outscored 16-1 to end it...ugh!
