Everyone has their hand in your pocket from the associations, development, coaches, tournaments and equipment suppliers.
This has caused the narrowing of the pyramid at the base of players which has caused teams to play over their heads (think all the AAA bottom feeders) who should really be playing down a level. This would move all the bottom feeders down at each level and make games more competitive.
This of course is all doomed to fail because parents ego could not withstand the hit.
GTHL AAA is already two tier within one. It's an absolute joke.
