Chico,
You obliquely addressed the question I posed of you last week. Allow me to take it one step more. First, I do appreciate all the thankless work SCYSA does, and I don't say this obligtorily.

I suspect that SCYSA is so heavily influenced because they are not true "soccer" people. In trying to draw a logical parallel, if I were on a board that governs, say, law or medicine, I know I would be certainly suspect to overtures by influential people as I would have to defer to them through my lack of knowledge on the subject.I have no idea why the State Director of Coaching does not have a vote on soccer matters on the board. I'm sure there are some fallacies with this argument that I'll be appraised of shortly.
