YIKES!!!!  that Spring decline[/quote]
Dude, go look up the ECNL Spring that is also in North Carolina. There is a similar drop from last year to this year. It isn't just GA. Hint: Maybe there is something else going on with college recruiting that could be affecting both leagues?

I think you're right. The one thing notable is that the transfer portal was flooded with entrants this year.  I'm wondering if some colleges (it wouldn't take a lot) focused more on filling spots from transfers as opposed to incoming freshmen.  No need to attend as many showcases.   A Mid major or P4 player with minutes and stats is proven, and there's no longer this expectation that they will be around for the full 4 years.  So "if" that's the case you would expect the sharpest drop off in D1 attendance at the GA spring event which is a recruiting event tailored for a different market than Champions Cup and other higher level competitions.  Would be interesting to see if there was also a similar drop off rate for D2/3 coaches at the spring event.   [/quote]

wrong.  the ECNL Spring in North Carolina, really its in the Summer, has had an increase. not much of an increase over the last 2 years but it has increased.  lets see what the numbers are in June after its finished. [/quote]
