The question is how many of those DA ECNL clubs fell in love with ECNL and want to stay long term vs how many of those clubs believe in DA 2.0 (GA). I don’t have the answer but will be interesting to watch.

If NWSL implements a homegrown rule girls youth soccer will go bonkers.

DA 2.0 on steroids with fireworks shooting out of it's rearend.

How does a homegrown rule work when there’s a draft?

The way soccer has picked up for women in the past 3 years, I would expect for DA 2.0 to be a huge success.

How is soccer significantly different now than 3 years ago?

Viewership
Nwsl expansion
Tv deals

Come on now must I go on?

That’s great, what network is streaming GA games?

I guess I just thought a part of this groundbreaking NWSL/GA/US Soccer partnership that GA games would soon be streaming.

Bet you also thought 5+ GA Teams were leaving to ecnl

Still waiting on that NWSL partnership announcement

You’re an idiot. The title of the article is “Should the NWSL abolish the college draft?” and basically says that a homegrown rule doesn’t work when there’s a draft. It also says “Over a decade into existence, the NWSL does not have any formal or centralized academy structure. Years of board-level discussion about a homegrown rule have not seen one come to fruition.”

You must have missed this part...

"The rest of the world embraces free agency and has for almost 30 years," Meghan Burke, NWSL Players Association executive director, told ESPN. "The draft is antithetical to free agency and a deterrent to elite players seeking to pursue their professional soccer careers. With the evolution of women's professional soccer that we have led, it's time for NWSL to evolve with the rest of the world on this issue if we are to remain competitive with the rest of the world."

Right. So again, how does a homegrown rule work when there’s a draft? You state “yes it does…” and link and quote an article that basically says it doesn’t.

Just read the actual quick press release.

All GA is excited about is“looking forward to continuing to enhance the voices of all key stakeholders in our female soccer ecosystem…”

Where does this say DA 2.0?

It is just a seat at the table, the same table US Club Soccer as well as the Special Olympics share.
