Agree.
MLSN2 is fully composed by p2p clubs what can’t organize themselves with 2 different age categories.
MLSN2 must be SY by 2026/27, otherwise it won’t survive.

For sure. At the club leadership level we know having two registration systems is not doable and the profound assumption is Mlsn/ga will fall in line. However, we are instructed to point to no official word, which does help deflect any backlash on us and gives appearance that nothing May change for the current teams.

They basically run college football and basketball, with NCAA as a token governing body, what makes you think they would give a crap to USSF ?
Or the power confences partner with pro teams first in a college/pro league so the smaller colleges dont do it first.
And how would this impact age cutoffs for youth soccer, in your opinion?
If colleges partner with pro teams and do some kind of "minor league" pro and college league. Everything will stay BY. This is because conceptually SY doesnt apply to pro teams.
But even the possibility of college working with pro teams on a single league might keep BY in the mix.
This might be one of the reasons MLSN + GA haven't made any statements reguarding SY.
Because colleges will switch to admissions and classes on BY?
College admissions are rolling. It's not surprising now for incoming freshmen to graduate early and attend in January to start practicing with the team.
This guy is even nuttier than SY+60 guy. Let’s call him: BY minus Fall semester guy.
I don't know how much it would happen for soccer, BUT it happens more than you realize in college football. All the big stars/talent are doing this now.
It happens in women's soccer with top 25 programs. But will never be big.

Soccer isn't exactly the revenue generator like the bigger sports. If anything, the USSF would help take it off their hands.
The colleges will not let the program be taken off their hands. They would close soccer down first.

BY minus Fall semester guy is changing the soccer paradigm. Hopefully US Soccer, NCAA, MLSN, ECNL are seeing this!
Make your jokes. It's all good. I'm not the person saying these talks will delay stop the switch to SY -- just that not all college freshmen start in the fall, especially elite athletes these days. Take that FWIW!
If you have a kid playing on a top team at an elite level you already know this.
The person you're argueing with is either an ECNL coach, doc, or club owner fighting for their lifestyle/job.

Wow, I can’t believe someone would even admit this is their thought process. At least you use the words ‘might’ a couple times maybe realizing you have bottomed out and are completely grasping at straws.
If anything, colleges recruit by SY/GY and making college a more appealing option for elite youth leagues would make an argument for elite clubs staying SY. Either this is a big nothing burger
That was quite a reach into nothingness. Sad...
Just like your mom.
