Thanks for the information. I had forgotten about the NCAA rules limiting practice time (and other nonsensical rule changes to the game itself). I do think that the NCAA unnecessarily prevents many good players from wanting to play college soccer, which only exacerbates the problem of how terrible college soccer for men is. I watched some games on TV and it was pretty low level, looked like high school sports to me. With the countdown clock it also had a weirdly American feel that almost resembled football. NCAA seems to just want football for the time being, even to the point where soccer is meant to play like it.
