Word I am hearing is that indeed this is about the quality of the 2020 Capital team and CM not wanting to dilute his brand by having the team not play in the very highest division in the most high profile youth grade. Madlax has distinguished itself from VLC the past couple of years by arguing that VLC plays down a level, and if Madlax did the same they would lose that argument. Very disappointing but do agree that CM has to do what is in the best interest of the kids and families, not necessarily his future marketing.
