Quote: Do you have any idea on the CESA costs and how they are going to juggle the who gets to play in which game thing? If the ECNL games are drawing more college coaches (thats how it is being sold ,right?) then who will be happy to pay the same amount to get fewer "good" games. Also what about the ECNL sub rule, really going to limit playing time players do get if you have a large roster and have to get everyone in?
More college coaches is not how it's "being sold". Our coach, and for that matter everyone at CESA I've ever talked to, has always said that college exposure is a secondary benifit. The games and the level of opponent is the primary benifit. In the U-17 Premier league, CASL finished second by 1 point. In ECNL, they were 17th. CSA finished tied for fourth in Premier league. In ECNL, they were 20th. In the U-15 age group, Atlanta Fire and CASL tied for first place. In ECNL, they were 32nd and 19th respectively.
As for costs, I would echo what others said when SC Utd went to Academy: call them and get information from the source. Or you could listen to the same 8 people that are always on here.
