USL is an insurance company that has a big heart for lacrosse. They need revenue- and lots of it. They force insurance on the lacrosse community to substantiate their operations with very little in return for their customers. Their "governance" is focused on expanding the sport into new markets (read sell more insurance) and NOT on shaping policy. The sports most influential markets, Long Island and Baltimore, are relatively ignored by the organization. They are a Maryland insurance company, partnered with a Pennsylvania tournament operator, attempting to copy the got-soccer model of rankings and sanctioning, while simultaneously suggesting that the very clubs they need for their tournaments and rankings are out-of-control and detrimental to the sport. They want to control the sport yet fail to listen to the market place. If we weren't forced to buy their insurance, would they have any significance?
