[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For girls, ENCL is the top spot for college recruiting. Whether that's best for US Women overall to be competitive with up and coming European leagues is up for debate. For boys, ENCL is competing with MLS-Next and more importantly overseas players for college attention and losing. Long term I can't see how ENCL wins vs. MLS-Next as the professional pipeline will draw in the best. [/quote] ECNL for girls is just a college prep league. Their “developmental” work is building muscle and creating physical players because that is the college game and it is the easiest way to get the most girls in college. Colleges use women soccer to balance football in terms of title 9 and 95% of the women college soccer programs are at best part time amateur leagues. Parents see ECNL as a hook to get their kid in to college. [b]Though the scholarship money is not really there[/b] for freshmen and many could get in to a “higher” ranked or better known school without soccer. So there is some elements of scam to the whole thing. [/quote] ECNL is a UMC sport. The point is getting in not getting a scholarship. [/quote]
