US Soccer Federation establishes committee to recommend changes to college sport
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — The U.S. Soccer Federation on Tuesday established a committee tasked with recommending how the college game can be better integrated with the sport. Top college teams play about 18-25 games per season and the importance of college soccer to men's professional teams has lessened as more top talent goes through team academy systems and not college. The college game allows unlimited substitutions and for clock stoppages. The USSF said the committee will produce a report with recommendations by the start of the 2025-26 academic year and is to suggest initiatives for possible implementation as early as 2026-27. 'College soccer is integral to the fabric and future of our sport in this country,' USSF CEO JT Batson said in a statement. 'The individuals joining this group bring unique perspectives and expertise that will help us build a model where college soccer can thrive in a modern, connected system — all working collaboratively in service to soccer.' Former Deloitte Consulting CEO Dan Helfrich will chair the committee, which includes former Major League Soccer president Mark Abbott, United Soccer League Championship president Jeremy Alumbaugh, Warner Bros. Discovery Sport executive Craig Barry, USSF technical development committee chair Mike Cullina, Davidson athletic director Chris Clunie, MLS executive Ali Curtis, Seattle Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer, former LA Galaxy president Chris Klein, Penn State athletic director Patrick Kraft, Kansas City Current co-owner Angie Long, agent Richard Motzkin, high-performance specialist Ryan Nelson, University of Maryland president Darryll Pines, NWSL executive Sarah Jones Simmer, Coca-Cola executive Amber Steele, Bank of America executive David Tyrie and Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack. ___ AP soccer:

Former UC quarterback Desmond Ridder trying out for Colts at mandatory minicamp
INDIANAPOLIS — Former Falcons starting quarterback Desmond Ridder is trying out for the Colts at the team's mandatory minicamp this week. Ridder, a third-round pick by Atlanta from the University of Cincinnati in 2022, spent the entire 2023 season as the Falcons starter, completing 64.2% of his passes for 2,836 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. But the Falcons released Ridder after signing Kirk Cousins and drafting Michael Penix Jr. in 2024, and Ridder spent the season with the Raiders, making just one start for Las Vegas. The Colts are without quarterback Anthony Richardson, who is rehabbing a shoulder injury after receiving a second opinion. The team signed Daniel Jones in free agency to create competition.
