The BLC families claimed that the VLC team was not improving or performing at an acceptable level, and the coaches/program were not going in the right direction.
after the departures, VLC was making a push to recruit new players, but that is difficult to do at this point in the year, especially after a group has departed.
I don't know if the VLC/BLC issue has anything to do with Wolfpack moving up. But VLC moving down to AAA is probably related to their loss of players to BLC.

Ironically, the reason this VLC team even exists is that it's the skeleton crew from a very dominant and BIG Cavs team from a few years back (the "legacy VLC parents") who won AAA Hoco repeatedly and then dropped out of Hoco when forced to play in the Elite bracket. Which itself caused a big exodus of talent that continues to this day. As recently as Fall 2020, this was an impressive group of athletes, but in shocking news, adults ruined it once again. Nobody but themselves to blame. Have fun doing the same thing to BLC I guess.
