It’s a shame that the NCAA&nbsp;College&nbsp;Cup is&nbsp;not more publicized and marketed to the sporting public.&nbsp; College soccer is exciting, and it should get more attention.&nbsp;
The NCAA is missing an opportunity with NCAA soccer.&nbsp; The ‘Final Four’ in NCAA basketball and the ‘Frozen Four’ in hockey have achieved much more fanfare.&nbsp; The basketball championships are obviously huge and have been huge for a while.&nbsp; The hockey championships are getting bigger every year and are sellouts (on&nbsp;the&nbsp;men’s side)&nbsp;for sure.&nbsp;
NCAA soccer needs a calendar adjustment, a marketing plan, and a promotional facelift.&nbsp; The tournament should probably not end when college semesters are out on winter break.&nbsp; Also, the NCAA and ESPN should collaborate in order to do something with&nbsp;the College Cup&nbsp;during the MLS season&nbsp;so that&nbsp;it can be cross-promoted, and maybe make up some nifty name like the ‘Ultimate Four’ for the semifinals games.&nbsp;
What do you think should be the official nickname of the College Cup semifinals?&nbsp; Send in your responses via comments.&nbsp; Another example might be the College Cup Core Four.&nbsp;
Seeing the empty stands Friday at Frisco Field in Dallas when the best and brightest of college soccer are at their pinnacle event is embarrassing for the sport.&nbsp; There needs to be a solution for getting the public out to a great stadium to see 2 games.&nbsp; This should not be a hard sell.&nbsp; Tomorrow’s final should be a great game, but, unfortunately, with the stands empty, it gives the appearance that soccer is not supported as a college sport in the U.S.
