Boys DA was folded due to MLS wanting to take over and rebrand - Girls DA folded because the boys left and US Soccer didn't want to manage it.

This time's different, though. They've got MLS behind them, and you know those guys have serious cash.
I was so focused on coming up with a real response earlier when the easiest one was right in front me "This time's different" is a losing strategy. But... but... but... It's different SURE

Is it though? Womens's soccer isn't a cash cow and people who have cash don't love wasting it on losing propositions.
NWSL has the fastest growing franchise values of any professional sports league over the last few years. Growth is what matters.
Can’t grow too fast…that’s why the Nwsl has folded like 3 times. Nwsl academies/league will be coming to youth soccer just not anytime soon.
Could it be possible Nwsl buys out ECNL? Cause idk if the Nwsl/ mls relationship is close
Well seeing as there are club owners that own mls and nwsl team….
Rumor is that after the World Cup, MLS will start female league and will swallow up NWSL since some owners are invested in both
Idk if some current Nwsl owners would sell to mls and for mls to start up a new women’s league would be hard n take a lot of money. We still got a few years till we find out what is going to happen

Could it happen sure? but if that's what it takes for NWSL academies I'm not holding my breath

Problem...there's too much money to be made on youth soccer, that's why things will work out for the MLS and their backing of these mlsnext tiers.

my theory is that they both are trying to get the most teams so they have the most money so they can take over the other one
One is backed by MLS the other isnt…
never said it was a good plan by both of them
