[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think MLS Next truly wants to move to SY.  However, they could not effectively communicate and execute their scouting weekend so not really sure why they would willingly choose to be an outlier.  They would not be the first entity to lack self awareness.

Moving to SY puts their clubs at a slight disadvantage for the GA Cup as they would have to play up against international competition but I think staying BY would be a logistical nightmare with all feeder leagues, even with Homegrown clubs, being SY.

Yes for sure, MLSN would take a hit forcing the transition to BY for the 11-12 year olds.  Those teams will be mostly be Aug through December kids primed and expecting to continue being on top teams.  A switch to birth year cutoff would force a decision for them to switch sports or switch to ECNL .  ECNL wins no doubt if MLSN stays BY.  MLSN might get the Jan to Jul kids that played in ECNL clubs in younger years but they won’t be as strong or deep of a cohort on average.  [/quote]
