Perhaps someone else is seeing a "big picture" that I am not, but I can't see any harm to the League caused by allowing its members the OPTION to schedule games with home school teams that would outweigh the benefits provided to young people by their participation in competitive sports.
I would invite someone from the other side of the decision-making process to weigh in with the reasoning behind the ruling.
Is there anyone out there connected to the League who (A) pays attention to the soccer community through this message board and (B) is willing to share the justification behind the decision?
