Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe transfer fee is more than the entire annual tuition to be at the club? Come on. If it costs $1500 for the year and you are half way through, how could you be charged a fee 10x what you still owe to be released from the contract? That is called usury and it is illegal. Are the brains working? Hello?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's not called usury, it is called liquidated damages. Under the law there has to be a verifiable relationship between the amount of liquidated damages and actual damages. No way a club could prove actual damages of 7500, so even if this really exists in any So Fla club contract (which I doubt) it would be unenforceable. So urban myth gets my vote.

Development Academy should be free and inclusive - in order for it to be free and inclusive it must allow for transfer payments for players that earn professional contracts . When a kid enters the Development Academy system at age 12 - the kid and where they play is officially tracked. The professional club that signs that player to a professional contract should receive a reimbursement. USSF should develop a sliding scale with a percentage attached to the number of years that kid spent in the club's development program and then attach a percentage of the value of the contract to be reimbursed to the club.

Non MLS clubs cannot afford to give away their product for free unless they are a mega club (very few of those around). And forget GDA being free - ain't ever gonna happen

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYeah good luck with that. MLS clubs are the only ones with the financial means to run free programs and even then some clubs only do it because they have to. Others help pay for it by running expensive camps and RDS programs. There's very little reward for them in the end because salaries and payouts in MLS, especially at the Rookie level, is a pittance. On top of that there are labor laws involved. We are not Europe in terms of structure, regulation, number of clubs, financial backing.
