I think this all gets down to impatience. It takes YEARS to build a reputation and the athletes to field a competitive worlds team. Bottom line, I see this like the multi-billion dollar weight loss market.
The only way to do this right...with persistent success is to do it the hard way. Start small, build your OWN athletes, ramp up your schedule over the course of several years and put blood sweat and tears into marketing your program, being in the right places, building the right level teams to catch attention and (legitimately) draw athletes to your program as you go.
After YEARS of that, you 1) might get to a Lv5 that 2) might be competitive locally in its first few seasons before you ever 3) have a chance to make it out of prelims into the finals at Worlds.
I've never asked but I think if you did a straw poll with CEA, CA (both of them), TG, Gymtyme, Spirit etc...(programs that have been around and building for YEARS) you'll find that's how they got where they are today.
This whole trinity thing is the equivalent to me of someone buying some super-hyped diet pill or invasive surgery that's supposed to let them eat every hostess product left on the shelves and suddenly make them look like a CA Cheetah.
There is no quick fix. It's discipline, perseverance and time. You just can't invite yourself to the Panther Party....or steal all the elite athletes and bring the party yourself.
Besides, I've been a varsity coach (not cheer, volleyball)....teams made of nothing but cheerlebrities....I'd like to see that, because I've got money they'd get beat by a lesser talented team that works together and is devoid of individual ego.
Putting all the "best" on one team does not necessarily mean they'll be the best.
