Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes they are. Lots of awful players from ECNL (and I am sure GDA soon) will get scholarships because of what teams they are on. So many players are so bad and still get $$ ..... check out FSA girls as prime example. If they had as many decent players as their commit list shows then they could actually win some games .... they were shredded by OW teams that were mediocre NPL ability last year (and now have same players and coaches one year later).

For most high level club plays on the top team at OW, CFC, FSA the end game is college soccer at some level. OW has historically been and continues to be horrendous at college placement. Yes, I agree that pound for pound OW has more talent than FSA and certainly their players have a higher soccer IQ. The problem is that it has never played out for the kids as they move to the next level. Take EJ out of the equation and look at very good players in recent years. The best kids end up at mid majors and the parents do 100% of the work. Patriot league schools are fine but they are super expensive and poorly funded. CFC would have put those same kids into Georgetown, Nova, William and Mary etc. great schools and they would have received more than a token 10k scholarship. OW has no juice at all with college coaches
You can claim superiority all you want but there's still an ocean between CFCU and OW

2) when will you get that families don't care, it's about the quality of the school, getting a leg up on the admissions process?
3) CFC has many successful college players. OW has EJ
