[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most odd thing of this all is that MLSN never announced they were staying BY last December. Its clear US soccer wanted to go to universal SY but got big time push back from MLSN. USYS and US club/ECNL get what they want and announce the change to SY last December. MLSN also gets what should be a big win for them as they probably strong armed US Soccer into not going universal SY. But then nothing. Total radio silence. A universal rule in PR 101 is announce your big wins. Why didn't MLSN put out a statement saying we are staying BY for the good of the game and for reasons A B and C and this will be great for youth soccer.  But no, nothing. It was assumed by everyone they would stay BY but it left clubs with an incredible amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. And the more clubs thought about it, the less they liked MLSN staying BY. And they started to push back. And they were able to do so because MLSN didnt have any upper hand as they never announced anything in the first place. So MLSN got the pushback, said ut oh we better rethink this. And they are now undecided and here we are. The way this story unfolded makes me think MLSN has no choice but to switch to SY.[/quote]Seems they are delaying announcing BY to stop or mitigate clubs and players from jumping ship.[/quote]

Doesn’t work in the long run because clubs will have no trouble staying BY next year. There is no feeder system issue until 27/28. Would be annoying to switch everything but MLSN teams but not a deal breaker. Then clubs have the year to figure out what league they want to go to (if they are in fact leaving). [/quote]
