[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has the potential to let ECNL boys die.  Before MLS Next and GA, USSF DA was putting pressure on ECNL, and ECNL won on the girls side.  IMO, wasn't actually anything merit based but more of an inside job, selling off the market to ECNL.  Now with the rise of MLS Next, ECNL doesn't have someone on the inside of MLS Next that would help them maintain control in the market like they did on the girls side.

Time will correct the market on this.  The question is, will ECNL's strangle hold on the girls market suffer with clubs shifting girls programs over to a growing GA market?[/quote]

GA market not growing despite SYC.  GA is not a great product for its purpose -- college.  It is an ok product and the top teams do fine.  But that is all.  IN ECNL, bad teams do fine; good teams do great.  No way anyone would give up ECNL for GA to help the boys side.  Too much money on the girls side.[/quote]

And there's money on the boys side too.  Even more so now with MLS Next rolling out what is essentially the stateside version of solidarity payments to clubs.[/quote]
