The system is perfect because for every turned off family that leaves a mini-camp/tryout there is another family looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Parents want to see their kids on that famous depth chart. It means nothing come tournament time.
That's really the issue people have with Dukes. It is supposed to be earning a spot above the travel line by showing up to mini-camps and performing. The reality is ringers are invited in who have attended zero mini-camps on the dime of the players they displace. At least be honest and say that you are trophy hunting and all players are expendable even if it means bringing a kid off the street and handing him a jersey on the sideline.
