[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole US soccer landscape is so freaking fractured...too many leagues.  Classic too many cooks in the kitchen. IMO or everyone wanting to be the king of their one little kingdom.

There are only so many truly MLS Academy teams out there, but there are many pay to play MSL Next teams.

On the womens side, where are they true aligned academy programs and I saw NCFC get cited.  There are pathways but are there programs that allow signings and players to work with a senior team and play with the regular youth club team?

You are starting to see this on the USL men's side with USL-A teams and players working with the senior USL squad.

There's a ton of movement now in the soccer landscape - the traditional college route is going to look very different with roster limits, the financial settlement, NIL, etc.

Will be interesting to see where this all goes.

Everything will consolidate under MLS. Not tomorrow but within a decade, tops.  That said, there will always be a need for sturdy leagues where kids are just playing for the love of the game and camaraderie. NCSL is one, ECNL will be another.
