ECNL over expanded, diluted its product and now they have to scramble to provide complaining college coaches a product worth watching.

If you are talking the boys side...NPL is the same. ECNL teams consistently lost to NPL teams during Thanksgiving and Memorial Day tournaments. I'm not saying NPL is better but neither is ECNL. Having witnessed NPL, ECNL, DA, ISL/Founders, etc I would say that ECNL and NPL teams would lose 90% of the time to DA and ISL/Founders schools (and by ISL I mean the legit schools like Black Rock, Taft, etc).

Just another “money grab”

This is probably accurate on the girls side.

How is it a money grab? It's a bit of additional training with other high level players in the club. Where does money come into this equation?

The ECNL Super Cup will include a limited but scalable number of divisional games per participating club in the 2021-2022 season, with many clubs expected to offer a 10-month programming option for these players.

Does the "10-month" mean that this will try to supplant HS soccer? I don't see that working in MA when there are only 2 ECNL clubs...

Sounds a lot more ambitious than “a bit of additional training”. ECNL is creating another level above ECNL National with it’s own game schedule. Maybe free at first, but eventually someone has to pay for the additional practice and game time. From ECNL announcement:

With the addition of the Super Cup, ECNL clubs will now be able to manage a complete and progressive development and competition platform for players across multiple age and performance levels, extending from the ECNL Regional League, to the ECNL Club Competition, to the ECNL Super Cup.

Are they? Seems like it's "an option" and just like with GDA/GAL, only some will be interested in it.
