Who is the Director of that sinking ship? The union Director or the BRAVE Director?

So if that is true then why did Brave and Union voluntarily combine the girls programs when ECNL only made them do the boys? More girls teams would mean more loplayers in ECNL and getting college looks.


I do not know why they did it if they had a choice. If someone does please say. They did not do it for the game or for any noble notions of one less team is better for all. Everyone made money on both sides. So why? It could be as simple as combining the boys and leaving girls apart was too expensive. It also could have been that Brave wanted both because they were in danger of losing girls soon.

Was it really a choice? I still am not sure. I had heard that it was not a real choice. Meaning not forced by strongly urged by ECNL.


They probably didn't want to operate two separate unions with different clubs on both the boys and girls side - so if they were forced to merge the boys, it made sense to merge the girls to be under the same entity.

Perhaps it may be in one of the previous 320+ pages, but was decoupling the boys and girls ECNL program even an option?


It was. ECNL made them do it for the boys but they did it themselves for the girls.
