[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you follow identityhybrid on ig, he speaks on youth soccer….This is what he said about the alliance…

📍This is a strategic chess move.
Rook to B5 if you will.

1. Solidifying pre-professional pathway. Laying the ground work on professional pathway via NWSL (remember you don't need to go to college and enter the draft anymore. Remember over 10 players under 17 have signed pro contracts).

2. Isolation of ECNL on one side. Collegiate only pathway.
This will be a 2-3 year ripple. Around 2026 / 2027. World Cup Years.📍[/quote]
It will also likely affect littles.

If certain leagues choose to stay BY they'll also need a youngers feeder funnel. If all the current youngers leagues switch to SY it will force a rival BY youngers league to form.

In the end...

Rec -> ecnl -> college will exist as one path.
Rec ->MLSN/GA -> pro/college will exist as the highest level league.

All the ECNL hats are trying to say that MLSN + GA working together doesn't mean anything. But they're only doing this because they don't understand MLS's power on the boys side.[/quote]MLS Next has about 150 clubs and MLS really only center on the 30 academies.

ECNL/RL is what, 4-5 times larger about with about 600-700 clubs if you separate out boys and girls and RL an NL.

You sure MLS wants the headache of running all of youth soccer to help it's 30 academies? US Soccer didn't want the headache. MLS would sooner stop funding their academies (more or less shit them down) then throw large amounts of money to take on ECNL.[/quote]

They will want some ECNL teams. Don’t forget, on the boys side, most of the ECNL mid-Atlantic teams are junk.[/quote]
