DA was entirely an opportunity for certain clubs, like NEFC who were on the outside looking in, where Stars are on a short list of exceptions having a finger in both pies, leveraging USSF given its past failures and lack of relevance against ECNL. Period. Everything else is marketing and talking points that have been said many times before in many iterations of the same Power Point and will be again.

The problem isn't the leagues, its the parents that see playing college soccer as the end game. You cant attract only the best who want to be the worlds best when 99% of the players are in the game only for college. Blame U.S. Soccer all you want but you are still going to take your non .0001% player to the primary league to get scouted by colleges regardless of what the mission of the league is but that is somehow the leagues fault.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDA pretends it's so much more than what it is. Yes most players are there for college but DA refuses to acknowledge that. They also only care about the top 2% of players. As such families just try to get what they can out of it and quickly get out. ECNL has always been a platform, a gathering place for players and college coaches, and not much more.
