      They are just upset that they were told to come to fc Portland to play at UP and come to find out they've been lied to.

          Not a fan of GS, but no violation unless players live beyond 50 mile radius

                Imagine paying the big salaries of people who literally consider club soccer a side job and are only there for what it "looks" like.
                What club are you at?

                  Which when you think about it is kind of silly. More than 50 miles is going to take most players out of a pool any way. It should be limited to those within 50 miles. I don't think it should be abolished but maybe limited to a certain number or percentage.

                  However clubs often use their college connections to attract more players (and their check writing parents). College coaches with clubs may get pressured to take players they may not always want. Or in this case they may get lazy. Or they might have such a tiny recruiting budget they prefer the devil the know.

                    Or, like in this case, they take the best players in the area, who just happen to play for FC Portland. Certainly don't see any Timbers/Thorns players getting D1 spots...

                      This is more accurate

                        It might be within the NCCA rules but a strong case can be made that it hasn't helped the quality of the program. UP has slipped into mediocrity so there's an undeniable correlation when 55% of your players come from a single club. I'm sure this fact has not slipped past the notice of the AD.
                        The assumptions by many that GS is on the AD's upgrade list is probably very true.

                          How well would UoP be doing if 55% of the players came from a single top club down in SoCal, like SoCal Blues?

                            So you're saying since there is a strong correlation between UP's lack of success and their reliance on FCP for players (55%) that FCP sucks

                              The 2005 UP National Championship team had 5 local players. Of which only 2 were from FC Portland (maybe 3 as one of the players' bio did not state a club team)

                                It was two fc Portland kids and they didn't play much. The rest came from alliance clubs.

                                Go figure after they started to settle for more Fcp kids. UP became mediocre
