The problem is the players selected. From what I've gathered, the SCDA team is hardly representative of the Top 1% of available players of SC, much less that USA. In fact, some would have a hard time making all-region or all-area teams, much less all-state and "national" caliber sides. I don't care how good the training is, the environment, the facilities, etc. truly are, if you don't have the BEST players, it's all for naught. The other issue is the cost. I know of families that have paid $3,000-$5,000 a year for what will ultimately equate to possible a D2 future. Weird.

Everything you say is absolutely correct!
