And I assure you that not all players who play for FC Dallas do so for free. The vast majority pay to play. So clearly FC Dallas does not make enough to even fund it's own youth operation, much less to pay transfer fees to fund other clubs. Yeah, I'm the one who doesn't know what he is talking about
The entire FC Dallas system is huge, they have so many teams its absurd. But the actual top level academy players playing on the A team are not paying to play.
I'm not talking about kids who have to pay just to be under the FC Dallas umbrella. Their set up isn't a traditional academy set up. When a club has one u-9,u-10, u-12, u-14, u-16, u-18 and u-21/23.

Correct.
But how do you think FC Dallas identifies the players that will play for their top academy team before those teams are formed? They have to pay to play Junior Academy and even higher level select before playing their way on to Development Academy Teams.

The world cup is in the US once every 40 years or so. Not sure we can count on that either.
