Beezer,
Please tell me how the administrators have more to do with the selection of players than the parents are being told? How do you know this? I have spoken with several coaches and have been given no indication that their selections are altered once submitted.
Which will come first the end of ODP or free participation? As I said ODP will begin to feel pressure due to the academy program. Those pressures will cause the structure to be reviewed. If we don't talk about free participation of course it will never happen.
Someone has to select the coaches why not the administrators. There is way too much conspiracy theorism in your arguement. My experience has been that club coaches are involved as assistant coaches. What makes you think that club coaches are not going to carry new and different issues with them.
I too believe one team is enough. However, the smaller numbers give rise to new difficulties as players drop out due to cost, injuries and other commitments. Last year my sons team was barely able to fill a roster when it came time for region camp.
If you look at USC's roster most if not all have ODP experience!
