[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Acadamies at least are honest about the end goal. If you're good enough you play professionally and if you're not you don't. Traditionally while you're learning how to play Acadeny soccer is free.

College sports could be good but colleges are greedy. If every player received a guaranteed 4 year scholarship then it would completely make sense. If colleges paid players an actual hourly wage it would also make sense. The problem with college sports is often the value of being a student athlete isn't there. Also because the player college relationship is 99% in favor of the college coaches have too much power and it leads to abuse of players. (Coach's dropping players if the find something better, coach's sexually abusing players by dangling their scholarship, and these are just a couple off the top of my head)[/quote]
This is exactly why the Dartmouth basketball players voted to Unionize. They enjoy playing basketball in college but they feel taken advantage of. It they're allowed to unionize colleges and coaches won't be able to treat players like free labor. [/quote]

Yes, but this will also be the downfall of sports that do not generate revenue.  I have no issue with that personally.  The business side of college is being exposed.[/quote]

You wish for that until your kid learns she/he isn't going pro but was talented enough to play the sport in college. [/quote]

If this all changed overnight because the NCAA dissolves and the landscape changes, so be it.  Where the kids land due to the fall out?  Not a huge issue.  The kids that can be in those systems, they still will be and the kids that can't?  They wont be.  Tomorrow will still come though.[/quote]

And trust me, tomorrow will come when your kid isn't good enough for any of the remaining options that your hubris wished for.

You'll find out by 15 if she has what it takes. Hopefully puberty is kind to her.[/quote]

Sure will.  And life will go on either way.[/quote]

Let us know what local U10 team your daughter ends up coaching for a living. [/quote]
