[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All homegrowns for the other 25 academies are maximized to professional potential fullness?

Are only homegrowns allowed to go pro?[/quote]

[b]Maybe not.  But for sure better than DCU[/b].

The homegrown path is only for academy players that have been in the club for a year and the academy believes they can join the first team.  It allows them to sign with the first team and the first team not take a salary cap hit.  It's just a vehicle by which the MLS asserts control over player rights so they don't miss out on transfer fees like they had been doing for decades before homegrown rules were implemented and before the MLS started to adhere to FIFA training comp and solidarity payment rules.  Homegrown contracts are attractive for the MLS clubs because again, they allow them assert complete control over player rights, but much less attractive for the players because it is by definition a restriction on the players movement to another (better) situation.  If you sign a homegrown deal.you better know the clubs intentions and have that spelled out or else you'll be stuck with the club stalling your movement while they try to figure out how to leverage you.  What is happening with the most recent homegrown.[/quote]
