NCAA proposal for fall-to-spring soccer calendar faces rejection

The NCAA’s attempt to shift Division-I men’s soccer to a fall-to-spring calendar is failing as over 240 schools have voted against it, according to reports. Voting remains open until 5 p.m. ET. The current fall schedule, running from August to December, has faced criticism for limiting player recovery time. Advocates of the new calendar had hoped the change would align with European soccer and address player wellness. Coaches from some top programs support the proposal, but it requires a low approval rate to pass, leading to significant opposition from schools without programs.
