Noone else in the most popular game in the world advocated an academic track for pro futbal players. Pros make decisions by 17 when they complete their HS degree equivalents to go pro. Imagine gymnasts waiting for college to be the best. Absurd.

Look if you’re kid is good in school why are u risking his future with only one track? If he’s not good in school it makes sense I guess. But ifs he’s smart and a good soccer player, u need to give him more than one track. Also if he’s that good u should not be putting all ur hope with the revs. If u can’t do Europe, go to tryouts at PUnion and Seattle and see if they like him. If they do there’s hope if not maybe he’s not as good as u think he is.

National Letter of Intent. A contract between a student athlete and a school to play X sport and receive athletic money to do so. When you sign it then your deal was done and official. Up until then it's all verbal and not legally binding. Senior athletes will be singing them soon. You'll see pictures posted on social media of signing day with everyone wearing their college swag.

Beckham, Rooney, Ronaldo, and all the rest of the pros DID NOT GO TO College or have a HS academic career. The most popular game in the world training is just as intense as an academic environment. A dual track exists for sports and academics except here in the US where the 1% like to dominate the 99% and pretend to be progressive.
Yes. You. This robs true talent from the lower classes who would be the best option for a pro track from being able to compete on so many levels.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAll well and good for the likes of that talent level. Almost no one in the U.S. is or will be at that level. Even Pulisic, the latest USSF poster child, graduated from high school. Very few U.S. parents are willing to gamble away their kids education for a very long shot at making it big in soccer. it's just the way it is here and US Soccer and MLS clubs need to find better ways to work within that context.
They need to follow the successful world model .
Until then, it's just the 1%ers stamping their little feet in outsize gestures.
Just like the LMFAO "World Series" . Long before the dumpf, elitist MAGA concepts ruled.
