Unsportsmanlike conduct? Man come on

We used them 2x this season. Hilton Head & Stall have them as their game balls & they are substantially different. With the outrageous price, what happens to the smaller, less funded programs that earn a home playoff game & can't afford to get soccer balls? We don't have that problem here in Bft (our AD ordered 2 Rawlings balls last week), but I know not all soccer programs are blessed to be able to just order soccer balls at the end of the season. What will the league do then, fine them because they can't afford a mandated brand of ball? I didn't know until last year when the League sent out the press release about the exclusive deal with Rawlings. My response? Walmart balls for a state championship. I'm just waiting to see the first instance of a team being punished for not having Rawlings balls in a game. Since its unsportsmanlike, who will get the yellow or red card? Who gets banned?
