..cause , you know, you've been there...juggling the demands of academia with the pressures and high expectations of playing in the college leagues.

Yeah, I went to BCIT...most of the school didn't even know there was a soccer team.
And, as you pointed out, not the longest of seasons (8 games plus training & training camp...if you're good enough, playoffs too). Ask Studsup, it sucked being a student athlete there. No school support, and impossible time demands. It was probably a good thing they folded the athletic programs.
But, the course loads there as a full-time student were beyond demanding. The have a 50% failure rate for 1st semester. First year: 8 courses a semester. 2nd year: 10 including work practicums & direct industry projects. Essentially, to succeed at that school, you need to change your address to the library, and embrace the art of "cramming and dumping". So, as you can guess, the time demands moan falls on pretty deaf ears. But, it can be done...
