Academy kids opting for college scholarships here rather than fighting their way up the ladder.

But, but, why would anyone opt for our horrible system that doesn't have pro/rel? (not mentioned in the article, btw, just being a dick about the p/r crowd and their constant crap)

I like this because we get the smart kids. Ones who want to make sure they have a career if footy doesn't work out. It's a different type of athlete. And a different type of attitude. Let's fill MLS with those type of players.
