I feel you and know where your coming from. IMO what you are missing is the exceptional players have never had to pay to play soccer. They have always been scholarshipped.

Yes your model is great, but it will only financially afford the "talented" (but not exceptional) player get to their next level.

National teams are made up of exceptional soccer atheletes. These players are usually ALWAYS scholarshipped so your model will not help them or the National programs. It may help some with the opportunity to play college ball somethere, though.
