    Pretty disappointing Q&A session. No real info, except MLS spends about 20 mil per year for youth academies, and MLS and USSF is working together with a plan to produce better USMNT players.

    Thats 1M and some change to each of the MLS academy teams....that's nothing, but it also makes me wonder how much money does each individual club put towards their academy.

    it is a pretty big money, if you compare it to the salary cap

    Very good point. For example: TFC has a very nice facility compared to most and RSL operates a second full academy in a separate location, they are probably dropping a lot more $ than most.
