Due to many issues, I do not believe MPSC was ready to embrace the Bridge FC concept this yr. Primarily, they are actively interviewing a new DOC and do not want to commit him/her to something he/she did not have a chance to make a decision about.
Frankly, w/o MPSC I do not see a merger concept having a big impact without them. As mentioned before, 3 defending State Cup teams this spring and 4 2nd place teams from the fall.
My concept on a premier level club sponsored by the Battery has been stated several times before.
