[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=realdmv][quote=TedLasso]MLS Next isn't going to be replaced.  This 'new' league has already been somewhat in practice already with a lot of NE boys teams.  Essentially this league will house 2nd teams for clubs that exist in MLS Next.[/quote]

It's ECRL for MLS next.  Closed system that won't help anyone and is just a money maker.  In case you're not aware, they tried this in EDP with club v club and it failed.  [/quote]

I COMPLETELY disagree that it's "just a money maker". This is a true high level platform for players just below the MLS NEXT team grouping. 
It will allow teams to foster a deeper group of players playing in a high level competition and allow for advancement within the club from team to team. Especially, when players leave for other clubs or prefer to play HS soccer and leave the club world entirely. There was no good option for a feeder system prior. This gives MORE kids the opportunity to challenge themselves weekly against very strong opponents. The cream rises to the top and you can only improve by playing against strong players.
Being buried in the local, regional conferences doesn't foster such an environment.

This is a Great thing for the state of US youth soccer development. The ECNL RL has proven it's benefit with the shear amount of players from that league getting recruited to play college soccer that may never have gotten noticed otherwise, or been challenged enough in lower level leagues to become the quality player colleges are looking for.[/quote]

This is lipstick on a pig pure propaganda!

All these 2nd and 3rd teams could and would be fine playing local 2nd and 3rd teams without traveling and hotels.

Going to New Jersey does nothing for development [/quote]
