This happens with non-athletes as well. Academic packages where out of state students are offered the in state rate. I have 2 nieces at different schools in different states who got this. Seems like state legislatures would have an issue with this, but it’s definitely a thing. |
These idiots on this board who know everything are really clueless about the way this works. It’s a business and you have to play the game and get the best deal. I’ve heard many stories like the one you say. Most of these time they are told not to share because they are telling others a different story. Thanks for sharing your nieces experience. |
I’m also aware of several players in one sport whose father bought his dc way onto national championship d1 teams. They didn’t play much, but they got a ring. |
He doesn’t care about how much he pays these guys because $150-200k is peanuts for 4or 5 admin positions when one team brings in. $88000. Some are closer to $125k for 3-4 teams. Lower level teams bring in $70k and pay $60. If the coach has 2-3 teams, it pays for itself. The margin is thinner for the entire sportsplex and adding in the losing LU teams which will weigh the club down over the few years.mmof there’s a recession, expect the club to be sold. |
Jealousy isn’t the word. Extremely disappointed in what we invested in, yes. Bad decisions from an individual who walks around like he’s infallible. No accountability for very poor decisions. I do expect it to catch up with him though so I don’t really care. |
University of Richmond is a private university. The cost is the same if you are from Virginia, or not from Virginia. If you want to "stay in Virginia," because you want to stay in Virginia then fine. However, that doesn't have a bearing on what it costs to go to University of Richmond. DII universities do give athletic scholarship money. If you were trying to say something else, learn to express your thoughts better in written form. I'm sure you will take umbrage with being told your are a poor writer. However, your feelings do not mean it isn't true. |
You didn’t “invest” in anything, my friend. You paid for your kid to play soccer. That is not an investment any more than your vacation to the Bahamas was an investment. Do you demand accountability for years because the room at the Bahamas hotel was dirty? Unless you are part owner in the soccer club you are a customer not an investor. |
Sorry there is no way VRSC is paying a coach 60k to coach one lower level team. |
Not much of an analogy. Every dollar that is spent is an investment in something. It either provides a benefit or it doesn’t. Are you saying you cannot invest your time into something? You might want to study the concept of opportunity cost. There is opportunity cost to every decision you make. |
What metrics or expectations is SeeSee held accountable to in order to keep raking in $200K per annum? |
| Why are we talking about post youth soccer at this club. Low level D3 at best. Move on. |
For reals! |
It's not just VRSC, it's every GA club. Accept that and you can move on. |
Thanks Mark Twain. My apologies if my writing is not on your intellectual level. In fact, I did not know Richmond was private. Bad example. I don't care what kind of writer I am. I just know that GA is not the place to be if your DD has high soccer aspirations and they should perhaps lower expectations. Here is a fact - their are less than 5 2027 GA players in the DMV that I know of who did not play in the ECNL last season, who are currently committed to a D1 schools. Sorry if truth hurts. This is the reality of Mid Atlantic South GA. Get out while you can. |
Why are you tracking teenage GA players in the DMV? You are a weirdo. Sorry if the truth hurts. Also, it's "*there* are less", not "their are less". You really are a bad writer. |
