[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sounds like a cartel engaging in restraint of trade, I wonder if youth athletics is below the DoJs notice or if someone will decide that this is just too easy a win to pass up [/quote]

Every league may have reasonable restrictions like this to enhance the quality of the league, even at the expense of unlimited competition for players. You could view prohibitions on payments to players through that lens. For some, it makes players slaves. For others, it makes them amateurs  [/quote]

The really nasty stuff is all in the MLS and FIFA rules, not MLS Next.  MLS Territories, Homegrown player rules, FIFA Training compensation and solidarity payments - these really have teeth and if your kid is at DCU it's very likely no-one stopped to explain them to you and your kid is getting locked in by a set of rules which are very likely completely illegal.

For example, the FIFA rules can create a huge difference (>$500,000) to the cost of signing a US kid as compared to a local for a European club.  The rules (both the domestic and international ones) are structured to ensure that the player can really only negotiate with a single club and thus ensure that the club, not facing realistic competition from other clubs, gets the best possible deal at the expense of the player.[/quote]

no high school and approved tournaments only would make this a slam dunk if anyone cared to pursue it. MLS is terrified of the compensation rules being tested in an American court and they've backed down every time it's gotten close [/quote]

Yeah - but if you're an aspiring player taking your potential employer to court before you land your first job may not be the smartest career move...[/quote]

Maurice clarett among many others. [/quote]

If he hadn't been terrible, it wouldn't have been an issue. Even with that, he was a third round pick and given an opportunity [/quote]
