[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the timetable for this and is it a done deal?  Will they keep the DC United Academy teams in Washington DC and now have two teams each age group under their moniker (a DC and a VA DC United)?  I’m confused over the rationale with DCU being at the bottom of the standings in MLS.

It sounds like a grab at more revenue.

The whole DA, pre-DA thing in this area is crap.[/quote]

All MLS clubs have DA programs, regardless of their perceived success in the 1st team action.  Actually, that is how the academy system should work, the club can have good trainers and coaches that they develop, and if so choose to sell the player can receive compensation.  In the US, we have yet to see the true labors of the MLS clubs, I think in another 5 years we will see those who were trained after the MLS clubs figured out the best practices of DA system how they turn out.  It would be unfair to the MLS clubs to judge on some of the first graduating "classes" while they themselves were figuring out training for youth players.[/quote]
