Knocking ECNL Clubs but can’t get in!

[Unregistered]

I love these people knocking ECNL clubs in many states but yet your club can’t get in! PDA has 3! Too funny. Keep believing! Zero chance any club ever gets in the ECNL in PA, NY, or NJ.

ECNL is creating a new league (super-elite) just for PDA. No one else is allowed in.

Truth!

Now that’s funny!

Not too far fetch PDA Shore is better than PDA Blue at most ages but does not get the fair treat

ECNL will pick up maybe one top club per region lime NEFC and Top Hat.
and that will be it for awhile. Why? Because they'll have won the war and GAL will wind up being what NPL wss when GDA started, just with a new logo

Who cares....

If the current state of college athletics continues along with the budget deficits colleges are facing due to the coronavirus NO national league will be relevant bc there will not be much college recruiting going on, and no national showcases either.

Only a fool would think colleges will continue to give out big athletic money when the teams aren’t even playing and the revenue from the money making sports isn’t coming in.

It’s all a reset things will end up going back to how they were with kids actually playing for the love of the game and not for the big scholarship money parents foolishly chase - and don’t end up getting.

Wow wow wow, so spot on and very accurate reflection of the upcoming reality. There are already rumblings that covid has changed the college recruiting and scholarship landscape. Perhaps playing the game just for the love of it will become the norm again. We can all hope and pray.,

I have no idea where you get your information or rather lame excuse but I have never heard other parents talk about college athletic scholarships. In fact those players fortunate to get scholarships never talked or bragged about it. People like yourself have to make that up.

Not the OP, but what are you talking about. Covid has given kids a free year. Now you will really see the horse trading. Less money to spend and now proven players who you need to stay for another year.

Some of the kids playing Club now are going to have to take less than they thought.

Some schools already cut teams, mostly the less popular ones like swimming. Only two men's soccer teams have been cut, no women's programs. Female teams should be fine in terms of teams but not necessarily scholarships or number of players they take. Every cut to a school's men's scholarships means one less they have to pay for women's. Schools not in the big TV football conferences are looking very hard at their commitments to football teams. If you're not getting big TV for that it's very hard to justify the money and # of scholarships. Expect many more cuts to be announced this academic year. Many haven't announced their spring terms yet - if they stay all online then there's more millions lost per school for room and board fees. Schools will also be giving out a lot less merit $ and financial assistance.

Not sure how much an impact the 5th year players will be since it means another year of school/grad school. It may not be feasible if they're not getting big$ or even desired.

As long as Title 9 is in effect women's teams and scholarship #s won't be effected much. Schools may look at less attractive sports on the men's side but no school will cut football/basketball anything. Those sports draw in fans no matter how good the team is and with that money from alumni and prospective students.

You can’t get blood from a rock.... what you don’t get is that colleges are in a world of hurt financially and they will be forced to trim all of their budgets. Only a fool would think athletic scholarships won’t be impacted. Hard for colleges to justify continuing to give out athletic money when college sports seasons are being abbreviated or outright canceled.

As the OP said it’s going to be a reset with youth soccer retuning to a more localized and regionalized competition structure. You will see...
