It’s all speculation right now. 
Possibilities:

1 - GA can become the pathway to the pros like MLS Next is to MLS

2 - MLS Next tells clubs with ecnl girls/mls next boys to switch the girls to GA if they want to keep mls next

3 - GA/MLS Next combined showcases where recruiters can watch both in one place.[/quote]

On any given girls ECNL team, how many families do you think are aiming for the pros vs aiming for college? I'd be shocked if it was more than a fraction of 1% aiming to skip college for pros [/quote]

If a GA team with a path to pro has 15 of the best players in the state, 1 goes pro….where do you think the others go??? Ding ding ding….college.

It’s not just a pathway to the pros. Think a little[/quote]

Yes but is the program focused on the pros or college?  If not focused on college then those girls go ECNL.  College cannot be the afterthought.[/quote]

So how do you explain mls next? There focus is not college but yet still putting more kids in D1 programs then ECNL.

They have legitimate professional academies and the promise of playing and being exposed to academies for non-academy teams. Can the NWSL even afford academies? [/quote]

No.  Not even close.  Most of the NWSL owners are rich; not crazy rich which is what that takes.  The revenue is not there.  Might it be some day?  Sure.  But we are talking years.[/quote]

Your information is outdated.  Look up who owns these teams now.[/quote]

I did.  Washington Spirit and KC are typical.  These are people with money but not lots of it.  [/quote]

You didn't really but that's fine. [/quote]
