That seems like a huge waste of time for no pay??[/quote]

Why are you assuming no girls want to play pro? If given the chance do you think girls would decline? No.

It’s not just about going pro. Those that don’t go pro can still go to college. See how that works?

that’s how MLS Next works.

They can 
A) go pro
B) Get recruited to college
C) 99% make up all the youth national teams

……I’ll let you connect the dots.[/quote]

No dots to connect.  If a new NWSL Next was focused on college they could compete with ECNL.  They could draw those girls that want to go pro.  But without the primary focus on college -- ECNL is fine.  The boys side is just so different.  You can't just repeat.

To answer your first question -- yes I do think if given the chance a lot of girls/women would decline going pro.  And more than that, there parents would not support it.  I am not talking about an obvious selection -- girl on national team  -- I am sure there would be full support.  But all of those non-obvious cases would not.  [/quote]

But you are not understanding.

MLS next clubs right … 1 player goes pro, the others play in college, because they attract the best talent around.

If GA goes NWSL route, they will have the best players right? 1 goes pro and the others have first dibs at the best colleges.

Will NWSL start taking girls in high school? MLS Next works because the lure is going pro instead of college. What percentage of NWSL players skip college? For girls, the path is college and then a very few go pro. The better route will be the league aligned with colleges, i.e. ecnl [/quote]

If that’s the case then why didn’t mls form this alliance with ecnl…….[/quote]

MLS is the enemy of ECNL on the boys side.  They would never do anything together.  For the girl's side ECNL does not need or want this.[/quote]

Enemy of ECNL?
Why?

How is ECNL on the same level as MLS?[/quote]

Because they are fighting for the same boys.  ECNL is losing in the exact same way GA is losing on the girls.  Not coke/pepsi but coke/rc cola.  But that does not change the fact that they are at war.  [/quote]

They aren't fighting. 
Boys choose MLS Next over ECNL if they're serious and talented. [/quote]

SPOT ON.[/quote]
