With the current dilution, parents are paying $2k/yr for what MYLA was providing 5 years ago for $90/yr. I hope the investment doesn’t ruin the Hawks program.

The quality is already slipping. No Hawks team is no 1 anymore. Hogan often used non taxed labor to get his work done. They'll just become another True with a mixed bag of quality.

I would still say that 28, 27, and 22 team are the best if not 2nd. 26 and 23 are both top 5. 25 and 24 are top 10. That’s pretty good for one program.
