Allowing MLS clubs to have territorial rights when the club doesn't have high aspirations themselves just flat out sucks.[/quote]

For sure the territorial rights really rubs the wrong way when your local club is not great. It’s like players get developed by a non-DCU club, then gets recruited by DCU and then DCU own the rights to the kid’s future movements if they want to leave DCU.

Is there detail about territorial rights? i heard the academies have rights on players not even in their academy.  Academies outside DCU territories have to ask permission to pursue players in their geographical areas if even DCU doesn't care the for player.  This makes no sense...DCU didn't develop the players or give a rats a** about them, why do they have claim on these players?[/quote]

Look up MLS homegrown rules.  They got a right to any player within 75 miles of their base.  But only those in their academy plus 7 or 9 more, I forget the number.[/quote]

9 non academy players can be put under protection within an academies territory beginning at U15[/quote]
