[/quote] Who knows? And it depends on things that have not happened yet like how thye come into camp. But why is this a point for you? [/quote] It’s a point because people here are making way too much out of which players from which clubs are going to which colleges. It will matter so little in 2 years. Most of the players will either never see the field or quit altogether before they finish college. Even the ones who do play will be done with soccer once they graduate. It’s like making a big deal about which team a player’s on at U10. After a few years no one cares anymore including the player. Why does anything except the academic credentials matter for where someone goes to college?[/quote] Because for some parents, they want to say, "My son/daughter goes to Duke" irrespective of how the child was admitted and whether it is a good fit academically for them. There are people who can't stomach the thought of their child being a student at Mason or ODU and having people in their social circle know it. It's very similar to the relatively recent college entrance scandal. There were parents who "needed" to say their daughter went to USC, as opposed to somewhere like Fresno State or CSU LA. [/quote] Keep telling yourself that you’d pick ODU over Duke even if your kid wasn’t academically prepared for Duke… 😂 Kids coming out of Duke no matter how they do academically are gonna be better off career wise than kids coming out of ODU. No one is choosing ODU over Duke if they can help it. [/quote] Of course anyone would choose Duke over ODU. Assuming they could afford it. But that’s not the point. The point is that anyone that gets accepted to Duke to play soccer is either 1) a regular youth national team player with legit pro talent (a true unicorn not any of your daughters) or 2) an academic star (top of class, perfect SAT) who would have had a shot to get into Duke without soccer[/quote] Right, and these are people on th3 Duke wom3ns soccer team who are not #1 above. At all. So how did they make the team?[/quote] $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$[/quote] Why is this person/people having such a hard time with the fact that wealthy people with influence can get what they want for their kids? This isn't that difficult to grasp. It is happening, it has happened and will happen every year...especially around the DMV. The kids are all good kids I'm sure, they are probably great students...simply can't play soccer at these schools, so it pisses everyone off when they rub it in everyone's face rather than showing some humility. It's also insulting to the girls who get recruited to play soccer at these schools that earn it and chuckle when they see these players announce their POSER soccer commitments. It also rubs salt in the wounds of all the people that have daughters that are way better players than these kids and simply can't get recruited to any of the schools they want. Again, if the kids don't care that they won't play a meaningful minute in 4 years if they can stay on the roster as practice players then I guess it's a win for them. So, keep it to yourself and enjoy the next legacy of Duke, UVA etc.[/quote] I guess why do you think the fix is in on this? It is not. You do not makle a sports team in 2024 by paying money (donations) even if you once did. Thgis was shut down as a bad look by the colleges. they will let you get in by a large donation just not on a sports team. Coaches are not taking them for the bottom of the roster. It would take over $1 million for someone to get a kid in Duke. Are you saying that parents are paying $1 million to get on the soccer team? Not happening.[/quote] You are certainly naive. Of course this happens. [/quote] just because a family is wealthy and their kids get great spots on Duke roster - does not mean something criminal has happened. You are so bitter. [/quote] Not bitter. My kid is heading to a great school. Doesn't mean the other thing didn't happen. It did. Your refusal to believe doesn't make it any less true. [/quote] Did the family give you access to their bank account? Lot's of Duke coaches driving new cars? Come on. We don't believe you. You can believe what you want but you sound crazy. [/quote] Yes. And Yes. C'mon get serious. If you don't believe it, that's fine. I'm done trying to convince you.[/quote] Yes and Yes? Yes you have access to their bank accounts? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - and you still want us to believe you? Sign off please. [/quote]
