In other words, there is nothing in existence that this nothing other than a rumor

When it's revealed as a fact, then we can all break out the torches and pitchforks
Even if our kid is U18

No it isn't rumor

Yes it is a rumor

I know how to settle this:

Confirmed!

This communication has already been made to some of the parents and is in fact true.

why was communication made to only some of the future U14's and not all?

Eventually it will be made to all the parents but they lost control of the news and had to tell some parents first to not look totally ridiculous. Which they already look totally ridiculous anyway...

LOL 😆..
Lost control and only told some parents because the logistics and costs to send emails to all is too great

Ugh ..next

unto the next dramatic rumor that has nothing to do with you, your kids or 99.9% of dcum lol

Oh no. is Ms. Verifiable Facts going to try to deflect attention from the elimination of an entire year of the academy program? Is she going to claim that pointing it out is somehow related to jealousy because our kids are not on a DCUA squad? Will she asks for statistics relating to the number of U14 players at other academies who go on to sign professional contracts? Will she ask us to produce studies proving the value of having academies? What attempted gaslighting nonsense can we expect? The over-the-top fake rumors were a pretty cool try.

Are you on illegal narcotics?
What are you babbling about and who are you talking to?

Verifiable facts lady is endemic in this discussion. Here's an example, from pg. 35, when unable to say what is positive about DCU academy. I'm just hoping for more. it's funny.

What is the average age players are entering MLS academies who stay through U18?
What precisely is the dcu academy philosophy and system?
What details do you have of other academies philosophy and system so we can measure against?
How are you measuring "development stagnation" and the rate of speed objectively against others?

Based on the placement in college/professional ranks per academy player ratio numbers, what are the overall MLS academy levels and where does dcu stand?

Exactly. All good. Notice how it is crickets now with any information refuting the fact that the u14s won't happen next season. It is crickets because, like has said before, it isn't a rumor, it is in fact true. And a shame at that. Shame on DCU for treating the families and the kids this way. All because they are cheap as hell.

Did someone post a link from the academy or one of the parents that received a notification from dc?

DCU would be stupid to post something publicly...
