Miriam Hickey is the US DA director for girls.
I almost replied to the tweet, but didn't.
Shouldn't the pathway include college for girls? Given we only have 10 NWSL clubs, is this even a statement that should be made by your director? For example, not an option for Atlanta girls etc.
or is there absolutely nothing wrong with this comment?
It was a reply to this tweet:

See how some use social media to get their agenda across? FREE Advertising for DA. I’m sure that she wouldn’t disagree with College Soccer which is also a path for great players. How can she not acknowledge the fact that America dominated Women’s soccer from the 90s until just recently. America’s Dream team came from College players, there was no DA for Women 😁
Who and when can a team top this?
The team is the most successful in international women's soccer, winning three Women's World Cup titles (including the first ever Women's World Cup in 1991), four Olympic women's gold medals, seven CONCACAF Gold Cup wins, and ten Algarve Cups.[1] It medaled in every single World Cup and Olympic tournament in women's soccer history from 1991 to 2015, before being knocked out in the quarterfinals of the 2016 Olympics.

The idea that female players should bypass college is ill advised. Unless you are in the top 1% and a potential regular fixture on the USWNT I would encourage the players to pursue a college degree.
Given the current landscape who knows if the NWSL will even exist in five years. A degree gives the player an opportunity to hopefully be financially self sufficient, the average NWSL salary does not allow most players to be self sufficient, not to mention any career ending injury that might happen with nothing to fall back on with a lack of a degree.
