When the dust settles and who knows when it will, I will be in no rush to sign up for clubs / teams / leagues travelling to far flung locales, spending boat loads of discretionary money that I may or may not have to play games most of which are not meaningful to my players.
In Palm Beach County and points south for example there are enough clubs to ensure 95% of the player pool can get level appropriate competition without having to travel to the ends of the earth to find it. Yet, you see neighboring clubs deliberately avoid playing each other for whatever reason - hard feelings, afraid of losing players, do not want to support other local clubs financially by participating in events, etc.
Time for clubs to bury hatchets and get some perspective. The trend of league expansions will ebb, as it should. When this is all over don't expect life to just go back to exactly how it was before.
