I'll take Acadamies over pay to play.

Hopefully this is the direction GA is looking to go.[/quote]Sure, everybody wants someone else to pay their way but where would GA get the money to offer free soccer to thousands of girls?[/quote]
This is all you ever say.

It's going to be fun watching to come to grips with the reality going on around you.[/quote]If the barrier to GA offering free soccer like MLS Academies is money, focus on what would solve the barrier and don't just dream it away.

Kang's $30 million over 5 years is going to USSF to fund what they should have already funded, not to start an NWSL Next or give cash to an endowment fund for GA or ECNL.

I'm not pro or anti GA or ECNL but if some wants a catalyst for change, it's going to cost money.[/quote]
I have a feeling there's a reason you don't run a soccer league. Sports might not be your thing. Maybe try accounting. [/quote]

Maybe start with this --- let's say there are acadamies.  How many?  One per NWSL team?  What about all of the other GA teams?  They fold?  If only 1 per NWSL team -- that it about $25 million a year.  Where does that come from?  Even if that happens and let's say 20 girls on each team -- that is  280 per age group.  But there are thousands of girls in GA and ECNL in each age group.  Where would they play?  ECNL I guess.  Not all of the top girls will go.  For some parents just too far to drive.  Others have busy lives and no time to be that devoted.  I agree you will shift a numbert of the top girls.  And maybe you create elite teams but there would not be anywhere near enough girls to satisfy college needs which is really true if a number of these girls would go pro.  At the end of the day you create a new elite but it does not really change anything.  And back to the money -- where is it coming from?[/quote]
