Not sure if SYC applied to GA.[/quote]

Neither will get in and certainly SYC will not get in now. SYC will likely lose its MLS connection and their boys program will likely weaken over time. [/quote]

Why do you think they will lose it? I heard they are getting more age groups?[/quote]

Because one of the leagues has to be the A team. There are MLS clubs who's B teams play in ECNL and that expectation would have to continue with SYC or they would lose their slot.

I know there are a lot of ECNL backers here but on the boys side MLS is top dog and will always remain so. [/quote]

My thinking is that on the boys side SYC's top team would play MLS and McLean's ECNL.  On the girls side McLean would play ECNL and SYC in CCL.[/quote]

Isn't that exactly what is happening right now? I'm confused as to why you are "thinking" this will happen. That is already happening[/quote]

If the clubs are merging the expectation is that the players would be combined to the A teams. Is this really that difficult for you to understand how these things work? It is about player acquisition for McLean. If MLS teams at SYC are not filled with the A team players then SYC runs the risk of getting kicked out of MLS.

If the top SYC players do not go to McLean's ECNL teams then what was the point of the merger?

It is more clear cut for SYC girls, they go to ECNL at McLean as SYC only plays in either CCL or EDP on the girls side.

McLean will not have put themselves in a position where they can get hurt by this "alliance" but SYC will most definitely be picked clean. [/quote]

On the boys side it would be to give mclean access to mls which is the stronger league.  syc boy teams are better than mclean.  in the deal mclean gets exposure to mls and syc to ecnl on the girls side.  I have seen  some comments that make it seem like mclean would be absorbing syc boys for ecnl but it sounds like the other way around.[/quote]

I'm not sure this is the case.  Right now SYC has MLSNext for U13, U14.  I'm not convinced they will get higher age groups unless DCU has a change of heart about the way they want things structured locally.  If DCU has a change of heart then I'm stilll not sure SYC will get the higher age groups.  So where would the kids go at U15 - McLean's ECNL spot - no?[/quote]
