This. |
| Seems like things are going quiet. Message is out to the clubs don't say a word as it will create a storm of calls and emails. Wait for it to be announced. |
It's gone quiet because there isn't a unanimous decision. Leagues dont know what's going to happen so they're all waiting for some kind of compelling event to decide on next steps. |
🤣🤣🤣 is that what you keep telling yourself. There is literally nothing to say at this point until the vote. |
There's 3 leagues who have made clear what they prefer. There is one league that's said it will do whatever US Soccer chooses. There's 2 leaues that haven't said anything about what they plan to do. These are the facts backed up by statements by the leagues themselves and/or league leadership statements. |
There doesn't need to be a unanimous decision so nobody is waiting for one. Play stupid with your clubs players so they don't look to jump while recruiting outside Aug-Dec seems about right for youth soccer. |
A unanimous decision would be ideal for the soccer in this country. Last thing we need is a more fractured landscape. A BY pipeline and a separate SY pipeline all trying to funnel in the same place. Knowing priorities in the different organizations, I am sure they will go with a fractured pipeline because it keeps their wallets and shareholders happy. Damn the kids, damn the sports we are getting rich boys! |
They’re trying to funnel in one place. One prioritizes getting kids into college and another path is pro/high D1. Kids on the latter path don’t really want to play with kids whose goals are limited. |
NOT TRYING TO FUNNEL |
This fractured system seems needed for youth soccer to finally address RAE in some way. |

MLSN/EA will surrender to SY. Tournaments are big deals for both clubs and players.
They will be reluctant to switch as well. Only MLS Academy will stay in BY. |
That’s something that I don’t understand. How different is MLS Next to MLS Academy? Please could you clarify that point? Thanks. |
MLS Academy is affiliated with a mls professional team the others are not. MLS Academies do not have all the age groups U13-U19 from what I understand. |
If you mean more options between BY/SY I agree. But I don’t think clubs want to deal with that. MLSN teams could just play their own showcases and expand their biobanding from 3 kids to 5 and they will basically be in compliance. |
MLSN and EA will stay together, either BY or SY. Considering summer tournaments are big deals to players and their families and also important revenue sources for clubs, I bet MLSN clubs will not take such a risk of losing players and will go with the majority, which will be SY. ECNL, with its several alliances, has strong arms to push this agenda forward. |
