Message: [QUOTE="djct1999, post: 3699659, member: 2281"] I really sympathize with you because its clear this reorganization has impacted you or your region personally. In fact, my son plays for an old DA team/new MLS next team in the greater NYC area, competes against NYCFC, and has a few teammates on "scholarship". So basically most points you make about the new system is false. I will admit that a few of his coaches from last year were let go by the progam as cost saving measures. Furthermore, I strongly feel that the MLS academies do a fairly decent job at scouting talent and the future isn't at all that bleak. Sure, will some kids slip through the cracks. Of course. This isn't perfect. But in today's soccer landscape, if you are elite at a young age, someone will find you. Or you may find them first. [/QUOTE]
