The beauty of this country is that you can seize upon an opportunity, develop it, nurture it, and then market it and sell it to the public. Welcome to youth soccer in South Carolina, and likely anywhere else for that matter. Capitalism in it's purest form.
I believe that it is largely about the money, and not about the kids or the talent, and you know what, that's ok. Just quit peeing on our heads and telling us it's only raining. For those of us who have been around this for any length of time, we have all seen teams with no club affiliation who can whip up on anything we call premier, elite or otherwise. If you want to recruit these players, have at it, but please, don't tell me it's all about giving the kid the best possible opportunity.
Sorry for the rant, it's just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.
