It's no surprise that so many votes have gone the way of "name recognition" duh...we spend money based on brand names, we wear brand name clothing, we use cellphones from companies that have been in business forever, we cheer for sports teams that have name recognition, we see movies from actors that hav name recognition...so it goes without saying that many parents/DD's are looking for the "little extra" that those clubs bring to the table...
like...strength of schedule/exposure to colleges...but also, because of name recognition, they can recruit so much better...if any girl knows that the person playing next to her is going all out like they are, why not go to (insert Bear-deleted name here) tryouts? I would. No, I'm not saying that coaches for big-name teams aren't legit, but most of them are fortunate to have stars in every position..so, you BETTER go 54-11 or 60-3 and go to nationals, etc, etc
first joining Classics, I did lots of research (too bad I didn't know about the OFC then, because it would have made it so much easier) and yes coaching comes up, but good orgs would not be having Lennie from "Of Mice and Men" as a coach! Duh!
OFC members are like any other mass product, they vote based on preferences that come from name recognition...would you rather eat a Twinkie or the no-name, awkwardly named 10 cent heart-attack-o-bar from a no name stop n sip? Exactly!
