It's been a fairly recently development. A lot of players went through colleges until the last 5-10 years or so when academies started to get invested in quite heavily. Before that there were a few academies but they only took a few players (for example, Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore came through the IMG Academy players, while Darlington Nagbe and DeAndre Yedlin played college soccer in Akron).
