SW,
The irony of this situation is that MPSC will probably lose some of their more talented players anyway - alliance or no alliance. There will be MP players seeking the highest level of competition even if it means traveling for hours to get to practice. Perhaps it won't matter to the town of MP this year, but if the town can't make these talented players sign multi-year contracts with MPSC, eventually town council may have to reassess. I think there was a similar situation with MP Baseball. Someone correct me if I am wrong (which I may very well be) but a year or two ago the Town of MP allowed the best MP baseball players to cross the border into Goose Creek to pool the best BB players from the Low Country into elite teams. Does this sound familiar?? I know this is not a BB forum, but isn't this what the Bridge is trying to do?
