[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who gives AF about dilution?

The whole idea of compressing the pyramid at the top is the dumbest concept in the history of dumb comcepts.

Athletes dont even hit their peak until mid to late 20s.

The idea of making the market smaller for 13-17 year old girls in order identify the top talent is so backwards.

More avenues not less. 
Different avenues. Not just one.

I disagree.  Having 1-2 elite teams forces everyone on those teams to be at the highest level AND train with those of similar skillsets, speed, etc.  When you have dilution, you get players that slow down the game and impact training and play. You play like you practice. If a player is forced to practice at the highest levels, they'll play at the highest levels.

The championships are the results that implicitly come with this type of environment.

Look at the last 2 graduating classes from McLean and FCV.  Those rosters are littered with players moving on to Penn State, UNC, Duke, Va Tech, etc.  Lots of ACC and higher level college programs.

The dilution is real and it is impacting the players that have the ability to play at the higher level. The benefit is that some players that would not traditionally make a top roster now have an opportunity to get better.

It depends on what side of the fence you are on.  Most would fall on the 'not traditionally make a roster' side and want the dilution.

If you are on the 'make the team side', you want those slowing development off the teams.[/quote]
