South Shore Select shouldn't get an ECNL badge...NEFC should but Scorpions already has one despite being pretty mediocre across the board, so you have to fix that situation. Oakwood won't get one...FSA shouldn't have one. This should be a complete revamping of the landscape and take badges away from some (FSA, Scorpions), deny badges to some (South Shore Select, CSA, STA) and give badges to some or back to some (NEFC, Penn Fusion).
Should add the best clubs and make teams earn to play in top division.

ECNL should cease to exist as well and all clubs go under one umbrella with promotion and relegation to gain entry into top divisions. The ECNL clubs created their league and had success but it’s no good for anyone to have them running the league based on business decisions with geo based market share as the number one goal. That is a bigger money grab than ussf ever did.

[QUOTE=Unregistered;2688137]No way PDA let another NJ club in. O’Neill and Dewhurst are the two regional reps for the North East. There shouldn’t be another NJ club. You will see the kids on the DA rosters from STA (was happening anyway), CSA and NYSC go to the ECNL. Christmas just came early for the ECNL clubs.[/QUOTe
In the past NYSC entry into ECNL has been blocked by WCFC and I can't imagine that is changing anytime soon.

Where I disagree is the blanket statement that ecnl was designated for the best players because it ignores (as does DA) the caveat that it’s for people who love close enough and more importantly can afford the fees. The costs of playing in these leagues is so far out of whack and coming out of this covid situation I can’t imagine there’s going to be thousands of families not thinking about the cost/benefit of playing there.

SC loving this.
“Everyone come to the “Real DA”. In 5.4.3.2.1......
This will be like rats jumping off a burning ship. Good luck to all DA parents BEGGING for a roster spot. “But my Sophia was DA!, you must take her!!!”!!!!
Making popcorn right now. This is better than binge watching shows during this time.

Girls DA is and always was a joke. If you got suckered into that then you didn’t do your homework. STA will get ECNL status on girls side. Already has boys. CSA will probably get in both boys and girls for Monmouth location only.
I wouldn’t be surprised if PDA/MF/STA block CSA, but don’t see it happening. I’ve also heard the rumors about lots of girls leaving STA. Enough players around for them to build it back up though.
