Here's another article about the breakup of the PIL, and the formation of WCCBL. Posted here only because it contains a good discussion of the various types of summer leagues that exist and the various philosophies of managing such teams. Non-profit vs. For-profit; NCAA-sanctioned vs. non-sanctioned; semi-pro vs. strictly summer collegiate.
The MINK league seems to operate somewhere between between the opposite positions of the PIL and the WCCBL. The MINK is semi-pro, but most teams recruit college eligibile players almost entirely. As far as I know, all the MINK teams are not-for-profit, but some teams do have a very minor-league like concern for the fan experience, especially in providing low-cost family entertainment to their communities.
