1. guess they don't realize that 98% of the kids play for other reasons and don't desire to play in college
2. Many kids "could" play in college but elect not to in lieu of studies
3. Very few kids actually get scholarships in the big scheme of things
4. Even fewer kids are able to keep their scholarships for 4 years
5. Many of the scholarships are low dollar amounts, yet they tout a "commitment"
If they are talented players and they just love to play the game of soccer - why would they stop at 18 and not play for 4-5 more years at an even higher level?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSince you are so obsessed with TBU's poor record, why don't you show us the record that you are so proud of? Post the record of your club (in whatever, um, league your in) and do a direct comparison to TBU's ECNL record. Then we can discuss from a comparative perspective.
The programs at TBU are just as far behind as every single other club, yet to hear the people at that club you would think that they are competing at the national level at all age groups. It’s absolutely ridiculous

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBut nationally over 90 percent of kids that were playing ECNL when it “was the premiere league” went on to play in college.
Asking for a friend :).....is it true that last year the TBU ECNL 03 Girls girls tied the Celtic (CDL 03 Girls) in a scrimmage? Also didn’t that same TBU ECNL 03 team lose players this year to that same Celtic (CDL and FSPL) team??

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPoint was not so much about what is the best league, or that TBU is doing anything special. If 90 percent of the kids who play ECNL or DA go on to play college and 90 percent at TBU do then they are not doing anything better than any other club in the nation that plays ECNL.
1. D1 power 5 conferences
2. D1 other conferences
3. D2
4. D3
5. NAIA

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt would be interesting to get a breakdown of what percentage of the 90% of ECNL and DA players who go on to play in college play in the following:
1. D1 power 5 conferences
2. D1 other conferences
3. D2
4. D3
5. NAIA

So find something else to slam like their winning record.

And "no, I'm not going to identify my club or our record for comparative purposes with TBU because then I would really look like a fool."

Look at the contortions this poster tried with their avoidance of the topic
