[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) a local BSC kid is going to Nashville from Landon and is doing YSC Academy, the same program with Philly Union.  I imagine that his family had the same questions and I suppose YSC has had to deal with this in the Philly market which has a similar parent base built on academics as the DMV.

2) Stanford Online High School is a high-level option.

3) There are 168 hours in a week. Public school and many private waste 3-4 hours daily in inefficiency.  There are much better pure learning methods but the social aspect is important for most kids. An academy player has his social covered so they just need meat and potatoes academics to get the job done.

4) The days of being at Westpoint and going to the NFL are over.  You can still go to an academy and then go Ivy but the perfect path is a lot harder academically but you will have academy experience to compensate for it.  At a certain point, you do have to make choices.  Are you going to spend an extra hour daily on AP science or your first touch?[/quote]

I guess for the men's side, but so many successful women went to top tier colleges like Stanford IN PERSON and still thrived. Plenty of examples in the NFL of particularly linemen taking advantage of scholarships to top academic colleges to get even better jobs after their playing career as well. [/quote]
