Great point! Very true. Keep the thread.
I’m on the board of one of the largest non-profit clubs in our state.
About 80% of our budget is consumed by trainer pay and field rental. The remainder is league fees and admin.
About a decade ago we put a kid into MLS. Guess how much money we received from that?
Every year we put a handful of kids into college. Guess how much we see from that?
There is no trickle down. Zero.
Everywhere else in the world, the local club gets some amount of funding from successful development. In many cases, a single prodigy can fund a club for years.
That’s a funding source we do not and will probably ever have.

Nah, house is finally in order. They just need to do the right thing by the current staff. DM has already shown he can't be trusted to make the right pick.

NF fostered a true sense of community while she was there and many who played for the program are truly appalled by the rumors circulating. Curious if this season the only time the issue has been raised? Had it been also raised in her previous season time at BU? Administration should share the blame if this is a repeat allegation and it was allowed to persist because of their inaction. Maybe there are more shoes to drop?

It absolutely has nothing to do with NF. The point being made is the drastic change in culture, which is very disappointing for former players and friends of the program to see and hear.
