I can only speak for myself
As individuals with our own life situations we all have choices to make: where we spend our money, who we want to share our time with etc.
As being part of a conference that did not play many games and only sent two coaches to the CBSMF I can understand some of your statement. However, in my own case I believe that I did give back. I only played in one game (against you - nice win by the way) . Besides that I spent an abundance of my time supporting the CBSMF.
During the season I was part of the rules committee spending quite a bit of time trying to make them as comprehensive as possible. At the playoffs I ended up reffing three different games spending a disproportionate amount of my time (as compared with other people) "supporting" the CBSMF. This was basically done at the expense of spending more time with my son Zack (which will never happen again).
It has been my experience that if you want to recruit more people to join something, you have to go to them - you cannot expect them to come to you. So by saying that the CBSMF will not go to other venues will further limit its growth in my opinion.
Reggie, you may say, "well Joe this was not intended toward you". If that is the case then you should be more careful making blanket statements as you never know who you may offend.
