[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So….will mls next 2 announce they are going SY?  GA did….[/quote]

I think the suspicion now is both MLSN 1 and 2 will announce SY soon but still close to a coin toss chance if I had to guess[/quote]

If that screenshot is real (it is real by the way), there is no way they come back in a few weeks and say "Sorry for the long wait and massive confusion for our member clubs, but we're not changing anything even though that will be hugely problematic for you as a partner club".

They are obviously debating what and how much to change. So there will 100% be a change in their current BY system. No doubt about that now, but to what extent is the question. Possible scenarios:

1- Total change to SY across the board (still seems unlikely to me but maybe not)
2- Partial SY change (just the P2P clubs at MLSN1 and MLSN2).
3- Just MLSN2 changes to SY
4- Enhanced biobanding allowing Q4 SY players to play 'down'. 
5- ? Something else ? [/quote]

6. All mlsn platforms go 8/1 for the 27/28 season and announce end of summer 26. I don’t see the advantage of changing a year later, but I’ve heard this from multiple people over the past 2 months. [/quote]

Makes sense,  they wouldn’t feel the effect of a misaligned feeder system until then anyways. [/quote]

You’re right, they could get one more year of BY before the feeder system becomes an issue. Also allows clubs time to ease into the change only worrying about their girls and youth teams this year and concentrating on forming their mlsn next year.

If they don’t announce until end of summer they are taking a risk that people who want SY will leave this tryout season as they don’t know what mlsn will do.[/quote]
Nope, as long as MLS Next is associated with MLS and pro teams ECNL will always be second tier. [/quote]
