A) is odp "watered down" because some premier players are now doing ecnl?

B) is ecnl "watered down" because some premier players are doing odp?

C) does it really make a difference?

D) is this all just a further example of how fractured youth soccer is in sc?



I will go for some answers now:
A) If not yet it will be soon, that is the trend. Of course I would not say it was a strong drink to begin with.

B)No, but it might be more because some people are not going to spend that much to play youth soccer when it can be had for much less thus they stay with premier/ODP (I am not saying they are cheap just less).

C) No, see answer to D below to get reason.

D) Yes, we have a mess but it was a mess before ECNL and ECNL is not really related to the mess, it just makes the mess more evident.

Question is why there such a mess and are other states in much better shape or is the grass just looking greener over there thing? Because living where we do we see a lot of NC stuff and it seems they too have problem just not involved enough there to know if they are as bad as SC's.
