If hoco changed to aged based the clubs would just start another grade based league.
Missed point completely. Now Clubs would for sure. But at the time the league got started there were only age based leagues (NPYLL) (MYLA A ) and grade based High School . All youth teams were age based and if the MIAA influenced Howard County Recreation Department would have started a age based league, we would not have near the problem we have now.
Even at that time almost ALL of the clubs stayed age based until they saw writing on the wall with holdbacks. Of course Crabs ( Boys Latin based at time) licked their chops and recruited every holdback they could. Others followed quickly .
Now with Early Recruiting gone until 11th grade what will be big excuse in YOUTH lacrosse. Probably wont matter as all teams have holdbacks now and as they say " cat is out of bag".. Hard to put it back in now.
