## Resource

In this solo episode of the Inside College Soccer Podcast, Don Williams, SRUSA Head of Americas, gives his thoughts on the proposed NCAA Division I men’s soccer shift to a two-semester model starting in Fall 2027. Don breaks down what the changes could mean for players, coaches, recruiting, development, and the future of the college game in the United States. The proposal still requires further NCAA review, but if approved, it would mark one of the biggest changes to the college soccer landscape in years. For players and families, understanding the system properly has never been more important. Presented by Sports Recruiting USA ( www.srusasoccer.com )
