I think it could actually work. The SFA schools afaik are actually decent. I've only really heard good things about them and the standard of coaching is decent.
Once the older players are at a level/age deemed ready I think it'd be great for these players to get some first team football. The only problem is with the SFA schools is it might kill youth development programs within pro clubs. If it gets to the point where the best players in Scotland are going to the SFA schools from a young age, does that mean they are tied to them until they become 19/20?
If not what's stopping clubs just tapping up the best players in youth programs and falling into the same cycle we have now?
