re: The pay-for-play debate

Will things like the IMG schools popping up help? From my understanding they are basically what academies are but focus on multiple sports (feel free to correct me). The reason football, basketball, and baseball are not held back like soccer is, I think, in large part is bc most kids play for their school team first, and their travel/club/AAU team second (at least from what I have seen). Soccer on the other hand is all about the club teams because of the lack of talent, and since nothing is free, it requires pay to play. If academies and other schools start popping up that are soccer centered (the John Curtis, Evangel, Calvary Baptist types in Louisiana football), but still have good academics, then pay to play will eventually go away.
