What I feel is happening more than anything is in Alliance with the move is 2 fold

1. you have entire rosters at the 18u level playing for free in the Alliance, and GD not only lost players to fellow teams, can but won't have an entire 18u roster play for free. His palms probably itch reading this.

2. Losing instate talent to orgs that play more of a traditional midwest - PGF schedule. Yeah they travel but arent in Texas and Oklahoma more times than not. Unity has grabbed a nice amount of high level players, and I believe the number ranked number one player at 15 or 16 is from Iowa and plays for Billy.
