[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I think pay to play and ECNL has turned parents minds into mush.

Go all in on development and players will stop with the stupid age based competition levels.

Players that do not work out will get vetted sooner and their parents won't need to waste thousands on a dream that will never happen. On the other side of the coin top talent won't need to pay to be developed which will encourage high level play.[/quote]

Who pays for the development if not the parents?[/quote]

Professional teams. That's how it works internationally. In the US, the MLS academies a very generous for scholarships for players they think have a chance to either make the senior team or be sold. [/quote]
Professional teams in the US don’t make enough money to do that. Not even close. Would need NFL type money[/quote]

There he is Soccernomics Dad is back![/quote]
The irony is that multiple NWSL clubs are pushing for Acadamies. Berman even said that they are in an interview earlier this year. You know the same NWSL clubs that don't make "NFL" money.

I think soccernomics guy is a club owner thats high on the sweet sweet pay to play $$$. They've forgotten why people play sports and why spectators watch sports. For him it's all about creating some kind of barrier to higher level play that anyone can get past as long as they pay him.

If NWSL implements acadamies with an associated league (like MLS Next) it will take a lot $$$ out of the pay to play pot of gold. [/quote]
