Portland Oregon Thorns GDA is funded and you pay a deposit.
Will need quite a few fields for the hopeful masses that turn out at tryouts. To get their chance of a golden ticket, from mr. wonka MP
Send in your resume they are going to need quite a few evaporators .

All the non-GDA players in OYSA will pay for the GDA to be free. Timbers/Thorns certainly aren't footing the bill when they don't even pay the professional Thorns team much. There is no money in girls soccer. Except from eagerly willing to pay parents.

You fail to realize or understand (he) peregrine has spent millions over last 5 years on the boys USDA academy with no ROI yet and he has a better chance investing in scratch off tickets for a ROI and better odds than any ROI from an Portland based GDA for boys and Girls.
His dad taught him about the powerful funding tool called federal taxes (as the 74th Secretary of the Treasury for the US.) As such the entire OYSA membership (players & Clubs) have funded these US Soccer Directives for youth Academics, without any chance of it being a losing proposition to his Peregrine bottom line.
Not having to pay out of his pocket keeps him rich, thanks to the 70K OYSA membership league fes & ODP/RTC direct deposits to Pergerine for OYSA services.
If the OYSA takes back this golden goose what you say indeed has merit, no pun intended.

Of course, De Anza will still be putting their "A" teams in ECNL but this gives the "B" teamers a chance to wear a Thorns badge...

The reason that the GDA wont take off is that there is no money to fund it. If you pencil out the numbers you are looking at huge amounts of money. The Thorns can barely afford to pay their pro players $8,000 per year. They are not spending $12,000 per year on each girl on two or three teams. No way.
There is an article in the Oregonian about Thorns pro players having to take night jobs to survive financially.
There just isn't money in women's pro soccer.
The new TV deal is a desperate final attempt to get them on TV. They gave the network an ownership stake in the league in exchange for air time.
