USSF Academy Grades

Not sure if this info was discussed earlier but I came across it and thought it was worth a look. A couple of things that jump out Txns have a pretty low 'style of play' and 'respect' grade, - and Andro has low scores for funding, and fields. All 3 Txn,Sol,Andro have the same grade for player development, Sol has the highest grade for style of play.

USSF Academy Evaluations:
Txns-FCD-Solar-Andro
Player Development 3-- 3-- 3-- 1
Style Of Play 2-- 4-- 3.5-- 1.5
Training Environment 3-- 3.5-- n/a-- 1
Administrative 3-- 5-- 2.5-- 2.5
Facilities 4.5-- 5-- 3-- 1
Funding 4-- 5-- 3-- 0
Respect 2.5-- 3.5-- 3.5-- 3

Just curious, if there is an update to these grades. I tried the link but it goes to nada.

And if one wanted to leave the academy to play elsewhere--does anyone know the rules on doing so?

no math superstar but it would seem that a 4 (FCD ) over a 3.5 for solar is a higher score.

Original post was in 2011. Math has changed a lot since then. Please try to keep up!
