[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idiots saying colleges ONLY look at the top 20 clubs....who believes that? If that were true then no one would go and no one from any other club would be recruited. D has played in the Champions Cup loser bracket when her team was invited. 30 plus coaches at each game. Some not top D1s but still some good schools. Even so, there are over 1000 NCAA womens programs, 360ish just in D1. They can't all recruit from the same 20 teams.

For the 19s, most aren't in 11th, they are in 12th and just graduated. Aside from a last shot at a national title why would anyone spend the money to go to CA again?

ECNL had to promote this year and try to bring in more RL teams. With a war of attrition the league who holds the most mid to upper level clubs will win in the end. ECNL had a monopoly as the only place but has lost 30-40% of their placements over the last 6 years. In the next 5 I'd bet on ECNL merging with GA under NWSLnext. I won't be around though, so have fun with that.[/quote]

Very interesting, I was thinking a merger would be the end game here between ECNL and GA in a few years as well.

Why merge?

Once NWSL aligns with a youth league (most likely GA) all clubs in every other league will join the league NWSL aligned with.

There's no need to merge.[/quote]

no they won't most girls don't want to play pro soccer.   college is where the girls game is at.    just different attitude than the boys. [/quote]
