If soccer in this country needs to improve you have to take the private clubs out of the equation. Private clubs don’t care about player development, they care about parents money. Until we change the way we do things we wil always get the same results.

Maybe Colleges should provide the some benefit to the club for any player who gets athletic money
There is no direct line to the pros yet - but when there is , the Pro club should pay compensation if they draft a player from the GDA
Im not saying parents shouldn't pay, Im saying that success in development should be rewarded.
Im just throwing out ideas here so Im sure some are stupid.

Breakers prove Pro soccer can't pay Colleges won't pay - scholarships are for Title IX compliance (not revenue). Clubs benefit from promoted signings, more more likely for clubs to pay colleges (Access and logo use subscription).
So, Parents benefit the most, parents pay.
as other poster said, its not about scholarship. We pay to keep our kids healthy and included

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postproblem is simple. Youth Soccer is a business. The only thing private enterprise cares about is profits. ECNL made $$. USSF start to wonder why the clubs are not producing better talent.
Now ego get into it - we can do it better than you. USSf comes up with all these "improvements" designed to make a better environment for better players but guess what, it still costs $$.
If I am paying for something, then why should that something dictate what else I can do? Especially when the rewards for doing that something are not in any way tangible.
ECNL knows how to make $$ and the USSF really dont know how to develop better youth players. more camps and more travel is not the answer.
Losing 06 iat any level is enmbarassing wehn you spend as much $$ as the USSF does.
