Sounds like part of the opportunity lies in finding financial resources through donors or better yet, sponsors for reg sport, Kyle! With some of the existing pathways to the top levels of the sport already in place, a strong argument would need to be made on how this new avenue as an NCAA sport is the best spend. I do think though that public/private partnerships are the way to go when you’re staying from ground zero!
I agree. It will be a hard sell, but with the established pathways keeping the amount of talent coming out of America relatively the same over the years, it seems like NCAA could be a catalyst for more European teams to scout the U.S. Consolidation of pathways would help a lot in my opinion.
