What's the result? Did DCUM called it correctly? Do tell[/quote]

Was held. No u14 team.  Kids that were offered contracts will play with DCU once a week and can play with other clubs.  Just like was offered on this forum.  [/quote]

If there's no team, who are they training with and playing with once a week?[/quote]

The kids that were offered spots so there isn't a total disconnect from the club after getting all of their hopes up and then completely letting them down.  Which they absolutely did.[/quote]

Easier to take you seriously if you just said, the kids that were offered spots.

Minus the Spanish Novela additional drama[/quote]
But reality is, what you call a Spanish novela is the ACTUAL saga DCU is putting kids and their families through.  Pretty shi##y.  Sub par performance for a sub par academy.  It all fits.[/quote]

Since the kids were good enough to be recruited by DCU, then they won't have a problem landing at any other MLS Next team

Hope the families can get refunds on whatever deposits they paid DC[/quote]

DCUA should pay their club fees.  If I signed a contract expecting my son to be part of an academy team, including signing away transfer fee rights and player movement control, I would not be satisfied with one day a week practice.  I'd be checking in with a lawyer.  [/quote]

What in the world are you talking about?
Contracts? Transfer fees rights? 
😂😂😂[/quote]

cool.  you tell me.  (assuming they signed an agreement)  When these boys sign on for subsidized academies, at no cost, is there no exclusivity component?  And once their expectation is that they will have professionally led training 4X week with the best players in the region and 40ish matches, with no financial outlay, and, since they've made plans around that, have been proud of the accomplishment, and possibly foregone other opportunities, don't you think they deserve some compensation?  The club fees would be the VERY LEAST I would expect.    [/quote]

When you sign a contract and rely on that contract and then deny other opportunities, that is a problem.  This is why DCU is offering one practice a week and some scrimmages instead of nothing.  DCU is just so bad.  It's absurd.[/quote]

What's absurd is having a definitive discussion around something that someone said happened when none of us knows whether it happened or not lol[/quote]

It happened.  Period.  Full stop.  If you think it didn't, ask ANY u14 parent and see what they say. [/quote]

Better question, this person obviously doesn't have skin in the game on either side of the fence.
Clearly not with DCU and definitely not a parent of one of the recruited kids.

Why are they so emotionally invested?[/quote]

You wish you were right here don't you?[/quote]

One person is saying there is nothing from a parent involved or dcu
Nothing has been produced here

The other is saying it has happened because they say so, but they aren't dcu or a parent

A tough one to adjudicate[/quote]
