[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to sum it up, DCUA isn't that much different from other MLS academies in terms of subsidizing tuition....[/quote]

Wrong. DCU is pay to play for any kid not given a scholarship which is like 95 percent of the kids.  It is pay to play because they have made morning practice mandatory for all the teams. Meaning that a player cannot go to public school and still participate.  AND they jacked up the price for the online school to offset the costs of the academy per player.  So they are coming out even or close to it  on the balance sheet with this model.  Meaning the online schooling costs are more expensive at DCU because they made the cost higher to sneak in some of the costs for running the academy.  It is so shady and poor and DCU should be embarrassed that they did this.

Other MLS academies subsidize the schooling for pro path kids and ket the others go to public school.  Either way, it is free.  At DCU it's isn't.

Why DCU is a trash academy with sh#t leadership and management.  No way you can have your kid in DCUs system willingly if you have legitimate other options.  It's just a bad move all around. Academically and from a footballing perspective DCU is a complete joke.  Mostly rich, snobby, manipulative and pompous soccer parents from wealthy dmv suburbs, who know jack sh#t about football think DCU is genuinely worth a damn because they have collectively given it the "elite" social status tag.  Once they figure out DCU is not elite and it gives their son minimal if any advantages in this soccer ecosystem, then they will turn on DCU.  Just hasn't happened yet because the academy is too new to this parent ecosystem. Its just a matter of time.  Other parents are aware of but tolerate DCUs shortcomings because they don't have other options. But it is widely known that DCU is a substandard academy with no real intention of being better.
