Additions to ECNL[/quote]

this is an interesting comment ... why does this matter? If you don't play in Atl area or in that conference, why does it matter? How does this help your DD team? It obviously would give ECNL 10 more D1 recruits to claim - but how does it help? It helps the marketing of ECNL. It helps the total D1 recruits go up. It maybe helps some of the top clubs getting a little more competitive game, but it doesn't help the middle of ECNL. It doesn't help the bottom at all.

Say the end up in the Southeast conference. Lets take the 2009 age group as they are the current recruiting class. The conference already has 16 clubs. So they go 17? Clubs 10-16 have a negative GD. So adding Top Hat just makes those teams have another loss. If you are going to say Top Hat can't beat teams 10-16 in that conference then either you have no concept of youth soccer or I don't. I don't see Top Hat losing to any of those teams.

Top Hat probably finishes in Top 5 in that Conference - likely Top 3.

Top Hat just pushes another team down the standings, pushes another team down the showcase. It does little to ECNL to make it that much better. The main thing it does is add 10 D1 commits a year to the ECNL count and honestly, that is all that matters to ECNL and their marketing.

They could care less if the team is good or bad or average - they want to know how many kids go to college. and they don't even care once they get to college if they finish, transfer to another school or quit. They want the commit, they want the social media post, they want the money.

On the same level, the other leagues want the same thing. But they don't push the FOMO as much as ECNL does.
