Oregon ECNL teams getting hammered?!?

Please let me know which cost you would like ECNL to decrease?

For starters the $8000 to $10,000 per year. Everything else they can cut is gravy.

Get it down to under a grand a year and now your talking.

They can!

No coaches and don't travel anywhere for matches. Pretty simple, the Thorns have a year old model in place they can emulate.

What a bunch of F tards you people are.

You aren't very bright. ECNL is not making any money off of travel

No kick backs from hotels? Are you sure?

ECNL is less than $800 per month.

You can get plenty of exposure without though. People have done it for a long time.

$800 month isn't that big of a deal.

Unless you're a TA lemming caveman from Gresham. $800 / month makes you a king in that 'hood.

No kidding!!!
My DD wears a Timbers Alliance patch and they should be PAYING ME for her to play.
No way am I going to put out any money on this deal. You want me in the big E, you come knocking on my door with your free money first!

Amazing how many of the Thorns Academy players couldn't wait to get outta Dodge at the end of the season. Very few returnees for year 2.

Why can't they give athletic scholarships like college. Why not make it free?

That is right this is America. Profit motive is important. There's no reason to cut the costs.

So help me out here...out of the other side of your mouth you will scream and holler that the Timbers are making too much off of youth sports.

So which is it?

1)making profits is OK, businesses should be rewarded for their effort, or

2)it is wrong to make money from youth sports...

You can't have it both ways...

Free could compromise college eligibility. Since the main draw for ECNL is "college exposure" that won't happen any time soon.

If ECNL is making a lot of money that is ok. They don't need to cut prices. This is America.

Yes it is.

Imagine how much money the Timbers are making by charging $5K to play OYSA.
