wrong thread, there is a completely separate FCV thread for this.

She isn't being paid to play, she is being paid to use her image and name to promote the club.

Considering how much the past FCV administration has pushed her success as their own success standing ovation for her to cut a deal like this. Good for her.

If her eligibility gets challenged, receiving the check from the club will make her ineligible under NCAA rules

The idiocy here is just mind-boggling. You have no idea what you are saying. There is zero chance she did not clear this with USYNT and UGA.

Assuming it’s even true she was paid, which no one on this board actually knows. Whether or not she did, good for her and good for FCV.

Good for FCV? Paying a teenager to stay at their club? I don’t think that’s good for anyone.

They aren't paying her to play at the club (assuming this rumor is even true). They are paying to use her name and image to promote and advertise the club. Considering every club is already using the names and images of their players, posting them all over their social media, I say it's about time the club starts paying and I hope this becomes more of a thing around here.

So in the modern pay for play model, you’ll have some families being paid and others paying. I’m fine with tuition fees contributing to a family that might need some help but I’d be uncomfortable with this going at my DD’s club. How many other players at FCV are going to receive this treatment?

You could actually play this out to its extreme. Image there is a club with enough money that decides they want to collect all the best players in the region. They offer NIL deals to the top players of all the other teams to build a super team. Corporate sponsors pitch in because now this team will get a lot more exposure and now you have high schoolers doing ads with local car dealerships. Probably not going this way because soccer clubs don't have the money but it could happen in theory

Wouldn't that be something, completely disrupting the current pay to play model within US youth soccer...one can only hope

It would only disrupt it for a small handful of very top players, and a very small handful of clubs. Everyone else would stay business as usual.
