Doesn’t matter to the DMV. Once Loudoun United and other USL teams join then it will be game on. Will be nice to have other pro/semi pro academies around aside from DCU.
Game changer if it was subsidized/free tuition. That would help eliminate some of this Game of Thrones soccer.
Who do expect to fund it?
Ideally the first team — provided they have the resources to do so. It’s in their best interest to develop players that they can then use on their first team or sell for handsome profits.
USL clubs and solvency are not two things that go together. Also, how many kids playing high level soccer would forgo college for USL?
USL is for desperate wannabes. Nobody fore goes college in this country to play in a semi-retired league
Lol, you can always go back to college. USL Championship and even league 1 are no slouches. Definitely higher level than most colleges. Perhaps except the top 50 D1 colleges. It’s a good starting point for a 17-19 year old.
what 18 year old would be better served by playing in a dead end league making almost nothing than going to college?
Kids like Kevin Paredes. He started at Loudoun Soccer, went to DCU Academy, skipped college to become a pro in the USL Championship. He’s now a first team player making $100,000 at 18 years old. Nothing stopping you from going to school while being a pro either. Again, this isn’t for everyone. Only the kids who have a real chance of going pro. If little Charlie is playing ccl at u17 then yea just go to a small NAIA school
