Thanks. Now we can stop pretending that the Pac-12 is full of top academic institutions.

Who posted the Pac12 is full top academic universities? Let me guess you are a typical Pac12 HATER, because your DD wasn't recruited or committed to a Pac12 school. Don't let it discourage you, there are many top academic D1 mid-major schools like; UCI, UC Davis, UCSB, Pepperdine and alike.

Don't forget Long Beach State, Mount San Antonio College, and Cal Poly Pomona. All first rate institutions.

Hence the word and alike!

LB State, SLO and SDSU are also good regional universities. Their acceptance rates are in the 30%, because of the vast student population in California. It's not a given a student is admitted into those schools with a less than overall 3.75 GPA.

Is that supposed to offend me? It doesn't!

I didn't grow up rich. I had to attend a JUCO, transferred to Cal Poly Pomona and worked full-time when going to school. I worked hard, climbed my way up the corporate ladder, now self-employed and do very well for myself. The typical American dream and like any parent want a life that is better for my kids!

And as for my son, he is a Sr at Long Beach State, currently has a 3.6 GPA and will be graduating with a BS Degree in Kinesiology. Best of all he will have "ZERO" college debt! Afterwards he be going to graduate school.

Nice try, but takes a lot to insult me!

Takes a lot to insult you too. It must be, because you are independently wealthy. I recall my mentor when working at PacifiCare now UnitedHealthcare. He was a heavy set guy, made A LOT of money and had the most confidence in the world. If I didn't know any better I would swear he thought he was Brad Pitt.

Funny, so I need to look for a da club somewhere near North OC, any suggestions?

There isn't a Girls DA in the North OC. The club soccer landscape is already changing from when my DD committed a couple of years ago. If your DD is on a YNT pool, she doesn't have to play DA, because college coaches will recruit from the YNT games and scrimmages. It's the golden ticket!

In 2 years the Cal South ODP team, ID2, US Soccer training accolades will probably fade like the boys side did, because of DA restrictions. With Girls DA playing restrictions. There will be less accolades outside of YNT pool/player. The club players will have a tougher time distinguishing themselves in their player resume from another Girls DA player and there 11 Girls DA clubs in SoCal now. So, I would recommend having your DD play for Blues, Slammers or Surf, maybe even Galaxy if it's fully funded. The big name clubs have major pull attracting college coaches. Those clubs are like the luxury auto brand maker of club soccer. Sure a Cadillac is nice, but I would still want a Benz over a Cadillac.

I agree 98%. It depends upon the Benz and depends upon the Cadillac. Teams recruit for need just like teams in the NFL draft for need and people primarily buy cars for need. If I have 4 kids there is no way that you are selling me an SLR Benz no matter how nice it is. You will however sell me an Escalade. Although aren't Benz Sprinter Vans the new status symbol vehicle among us soccer moms these days?

If anyone can afford an SLR AMG, they can also afford the Benz Sprinter van :) The van is so ugly though.

The Benz GLE and GLS are also sweet for a big family.

Academic rankings are important, but not everything. Some of the top schools don't offer the types of degrees that some players want (like kinesiology). In most cases for undergraduate degrees the amount of effort put in matters more than the academic rating.

It's who you know not where you go once you have experience int he work world. I know plenty of successful CAL state grads.
 
The U20 team is knocked out of the U20 world cup by North Korea and were outshot 25 to single digits.

The DA is as good as dead now. Many forums are calling for a house cleaning today.

In theory the DA was a great idea but with no financial support from US Soccer and boneheaded upper leaderships this really never had a chance.

They were also outplayed by Mexico for about 85 minutes.

Huh? This was the Womens U20 team. There is not a female DA yet. It starts in 2017. Can't blame the US WOMENS YNT losses on the Development Academy. If anything, this is a reason to say that "ECNL isn't working."
Now - you can blame the failure to qualify for the olympics and failures for the mens/boys YNT on DA. Just now the girlsl (yet).
