What do you think it cost to get fields, ref's, a cheap liability policy and make a schedule? So one years tryout, roster payment and a tournament puts income over a million dollars, then you can add in all the clinics and camps. How about consulting fees? Do you think that a college program in a hurry to get a D1 team up to speed might want to pay a consulting fee to yj and have some players steered in their direction? It goes on in AAU basketball all the time, what makes you think it doesn't happen in lax?


Seriously is it your business to count the YJ money? It's a business and a successful one. HOw many long Island businesses can boast such growth. Go count your own money!
