NCAA College Cup Contestants Revealed

The silhouette above is not Mia Hamm

My college experience was basically a four year drug binge of various quantities and varieties resulting in some sort of humanities degree that has nothing to do with my career. So I’m not exactly jumping up and down with excitement over today’s news that the 2009 NCAA College Cup participants were revealed. And if I’m following correctly, to qualify, each regional conference (and there are many) had to battle it out with the winner or winners getting an automatic in to the Cup (or something like that). Then, the remaining slots were filled by a selection process of some sort. So all of that mess was announced today. Curious who got in? Check this ginormous diagram of the bracket. So that all starts this weekend and since the MLS playoffs are turning into a total snoozefest and the Liverpool implosion is getting old, I’m just sayin’ it’s another footy option out there. Also, you can turn yourself into an amateur WPS scout during this thing or better yet, use your newly acquired knowledge to weasel your way into a real WPS scouting job. OR perhaps use those skills to get yourself a WPS beat writer job cause the league could use the help (but it’s not clear if there’s any money in it). Either way, for those young college hopefuls who may actually have a chance, this is their last hurrah to impress the pros before trying their luck in Januarys’ WPS draft.
