[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an inevitable evolution in a market system. Leagues try to get bigger, become watered down and less exclusive, opening new opportunities for another league to be the more exclusive one.

ECNL expansion is a bad thing. ECNL’s draw is that it gives college exposure to all teams. If it expands too much, not all the teams can get the same exposure because events attended by college coaches are a limited resource. Some teams will grow unhappy and look for something else.[/quote]

ECNL-R is not ECNL.

The general premise of your post is true but ECNL-R can expand all it wants, and should, [b]if[/b] overall ECNL wants Pro/Rel[/quote]

Lol pro/rel will never happen with the ECNL. None of the existing clubs will agree to pro/rel. ECNL is about making money, protecting clubs and keeping the u little ranks filled. It is not about competition, winning programs or development. It is not a professional league. Winning does not matter to the ECNL. There will always be first and last place teams. The colleges will take ECNL players off the first through last place teams or any other league players because they need players. It is the equivalent of Pop Warner football or little baseball.

ECNL- r sucks because it is an after thought for the ECNL clubs. ECNL club do not care about ECNL-r. It’s the second team.[/quote]

See bolded. I have no idea what ECNL wants to do BUT if Pro/Rel is on the table at all then it requires more club participation overall. The Pro/Rel could be limited to ECNL-R and not extend into ECNL at all. BUT if ECNL wants to expand ECNL-R via moves like CCL mergers then it needs to offer Regional league clubs the carrot of earning their way into ECNL otherwise there just isn't a whole lot of reason to be nothing more than the B league.[/quote]

1 B League is probably better than 2 B Leagues (ECNL R and CCL)[/quote]
