[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting - PR says that top GA teams will be included in the 2025 Generation Adidas Cup as well as other showcase events...

Plus usually other blah, blah about coaching education, programming, etc.

IMO, not just a yawn, but not a seismic shift either.

If they're partnering to run showcases to include MLSN and GA clubs, maybe it's interesting? But the college game is so different from the men's side to the women's side, not sure how it would be helpful. The only game changing announcement would be an MLSN style academy system for females, which with how the CBA is now and no draft, in order for the NWSL to continue to grow they really should begin thinking about implementing it for real player development.[/quote]

But Colleges are also mostly recruiting from MLS Next….[/quote]

For the men's programs, which again, they're not one and the same with women's and sometimes schools don't have both. It's not like them running showcases would save schools money on recruiting trips. MLSN's largest appeal is prepping for the pros first and foremost, collegiate play is second tier, where does that leave GA with no official pathway to the pros for females yet? Until that happens and NWSL makes a statement, nothing changes.[/quote]
