These clubs stick their parents with the bill, take all star teams and often don't play the bottom of the roster.

Parents love boasting at work about how their kid won nationals but college coaches could care less. It is all about the club and parents ego.
Agree, and many of the best club teams who don't go (M&D, Mayland United, TLC, STEPS, Capital) could field age-appropriate teams despite what you say. The age argument is getting really old as an excuse. This tournament lost its luster years ago, but keep drumming on if you want.
