My understanding is CIF doesn’t allow their teams to play IMG academy because of the large amount of 19yr old players they have. I’m told that London academy will not be allowed to play there 19yr old players in this game. I believe they only have 1 or 2 players out for this game due to age restrictions.
SFA had 19 year old and 5th year Re class players that sat out when they came and played DLS, so I don’t think that’s the issue….
It more has to do with the fact they are not allowed to compete in the FL state playoffs….
CA teams can play SFA, they are allowed to play in the Maryland State playoff’s but the MD teams banded together to agree not to play them and they were dropped from their league….
Since they can’t play in their league and no MD teams will play them, they can’t qualify for the State playoffs…. They are not Banned though like IMG is….
That is the premise that CIF and SJB came up with so IMG can’t come to CA and play games and recruit the other teams best players…. That is all what this is about….
