TSJ/FCV will survive and will gobble up some more players and clubs.  How many, not sure ... but they have to in order to keep that monstrousity in business. I still see SYC, MU, BRYC, and possibly Arlington as [i]potential[/i] targets. Yes, this is an opinion, not some insider info. This would consolidate big player pools and DA clubs into one "super nova" DA club. This club could then compete with the TopHats, PDAs and SD Surf's and would be a monopoly in an IMG-style, expensive program for uber-elite players in nova.  Those parents would drive their kids for this.  I mean, its closer than Bradenton, FL.

I suppose DA will survive simply as it is backed by USSF.  Maybe some consolidation (which would be a good thing).

As long as DA is around, ECNL will continue to weaken in quality but gain ground in [i]breadth and quantity[/i]. Not sure what this will end up meaning for the CCLs/NCSLs/EDPs of the world ... but l could see EDP and ECNL aligning at some point to counter the DA effect of limited choices and anti-competition and to keep the CCLs/NCSLs of the world in their lower tier place.

Clubs: McLean and Loudoun will survive and be ECNL, as will VDA. They are simply the best non-DA top-tier clubs with good sized player pools for their locale. Again, I think BRYC and MU's days are numbered as ECNL and DA clubs respectively. Beyond 2020, don't see these persisting (BRYC will remain, but not as ECNL).  Arlington is strong enough to keep DA, but might be tempted to sell to TSJ-FDV in next few years. We shall see ...
