About the cost of an ECNL program this from the Xfire Sea United merger announcement:
What will be the cost of participating in the ECNL program?
With the combined efforts of the two Clubs, we anticipate that the fee for participating in the ECNL program will drop from $5,500 to $4,900 for the 2014-15 season. This will include all club fees, travel costs and the residential camp.
So for LESS than it costs to be a member of a top team & do ODP I get more bang for my buck.
What now Mr. I know evvvvvvvrrrrrrything about soccer?

So my question remains where do you find $600,000 ($3,000x20) to make this affordable?

Without significant corporate support the costs for Oregon players to play for these, for now, theoretical ECNL teams will be well beyond what is being paid for Seattle based Crossfire.
Who knows, maybe there is corporate sponsorship that would step up.

Getting corporate sponsorship for an ENCL team is easier than getting one for a local yokel team that does not travel or that is not seen on a NATIONAL basis. Picking up $50-60,000 per team from a national sponsor (see Xfire & T Mobile) is not only doable but is being DONE by many other ECNL clubs.
