Probably smart for JAM to not be a port of this. Why replace one big EP with another who would love to increase name brand and power?I'm slightly surprised JAM didn't tack their name onto this, as I consider them Varsity's biggest competitor. I'm proud of these companies for putting their foot down and saying "enough is enough." I think our discontent with Varsity and USASF has been brewing for some time now and if it takes a handful of angry vendors to shake things up, go them!
On the other hand, I'm curious what they've got up their sleeves if this fails. If USASF denies this proposal, are they forming their own governing body? They have everything to lose in this scenario. If things don't go their way are they just going to shrug their shoulder and go "oh well we tried"? Are they going to take some sort of legal avenue I don't know about because I'm not a lawyer? Are they going to pull support and embargo the USASF (which would only hurt themselves)?
And how do things stand for Varsity if they decline? If they choose to keep the hold they have over the USASF? Are we as an industry going to protest them (probably not, they hold way too much)? Are we going to write angry letters? If it were me and I were them, I would begin formulating some serious plan B's right about now.
