If I recall, none of the 10 who dropped for the 2015 season were due strictly to financial difficulties.

I known that down here in Oregon, going into 2016 we have two teams that are folding due to the financial burden that is placed on them (so I here). These were teams that had not made it to DCMP so I have a hunch (this part is speculation ) that the new registration prices made it so they could not participate.
