On the other hand this may be the reason why they want USSF to go along with it as, if they go it alone, there might be some defection to GA for Q1/Q2 born if ECNL goes SY and GA stays BY, which would be dumb for ECNL to do I would think.

Which 4-5 more are you hearing?

Lou Fusz?
CUP?
CITY SC?
TopHat?
Florida United?
West Fl Flames?
Palm Beach Kicks?

Three of your top 4

Let’s see 3 of the top 4 have two teams in GA.

ECNL would have to really make them a sweet deal

Never going to happen, GA is here to stay.

ECNL had their chance to take over the youth soccer market when DA blew up and chose to not capitalize.

Wait until US Soccer implements NWSL Next via the top clubs in GA. ECNL parents minds will melt.

GA is literally already the minor leagues. Take a look at any credible rating and there might be one or two GA teams in any age group top 25. And VERY rarely any in the top 10. If they lose Top Hat, CUP, LFA it just waters it down even more. The current break down for something like college offers is 70% ECNL 20% GA and 10% all other. If GA loses 3-4 more top teams then those numbers keep going down. If you have a choice, not sure why you would stay at a GA program if there is an ECNL available unless you are in one of those very select few markets that has a super strong GA club, like Atlanta or Cincinnati .

ECNL has taken over. GA is limping along. ECNL has monopolized college pathway.

Watch this play out. US Soccer is behind GA.

colleges arent.. go look at the rosters of college teams that make playoffs.. 70-80% former ECNL players

GA is still putting many many kids in college.

On the girls’ side, ECNL is a recruiting goldmine for college coaches. According to FC Alliance, as much as 70% of ECNL moves on to NCAA Division 1 college soccer any given year. On average, around 90% of ECNL players move on to play college soccer in general.

They won’t lose their top 3 clubs. Those clubs are taking in $$, putting kids in college like it’s nobody’s business.

No real reason to leave.

Nationals shot themselves in the foot. They had it great in GA. No way they win a Natty in ECNL.

This ridiculous article again.

1. It was written several years ago + recently updated

2. It's about BOYS ECNL not GIRLS

3. The quote that everyone like to pass off as fact was from a boys ECRL coach.

In USA ranked girls clubs, Top Hat comes in at #16. City at #22 LFA at #40 and CUP at #42. No wonder fewer coaches at GA playoffs vs ECNL playoffs. This really isn't an argument.

The other way to look at this is TH CitySC LFA and CUP are getting special looks from college recruiters.

GA playoffs had 100s of coaches. They are watching those programs.

Are you referring to that rankings app?

Do you know how strong of a club you have to be to crack top 40?

specially when SOCAL exists and makes almost 10 of the top 20 programs?

Oh yeah.. follow any of those clubs on Instagram
And you will see how much love they get from YNT selections and P4&P5 colleges.

I mean come on… look at the bottom 5 clubs/teams in every ECNL conference. There are some absolutely terrible clubs in that league.
