It probably increases the playoff bids to 4 instead of 3.

Is GA in trouble now that US Soccer is doing all the behind the scenes work for US Club (and ECNL)?

Short answer is the same as the long answer.

No
I recognize they said MLS would benefit too, but that is probably a general statement to play nice in the sandbox. This definitely going to put a squeeze on it. Also, remember that Adidas drops from MLS in 2030. A ways out, but a major indication of departing money.

Does Adidas drop, or is 2030 the time the contract expires and time for an extension?

A Charlotte area team has applied for promotion to ENCL. My first guess is CSA is going for a 2nd team, and they have proven worthy in most ages

ecnl teams aren't gonna jump in masses. they saw the ecnl teams who jumped to ga and are still terrible. the general admission, wait, ga league, sorry, will probably be adding about 10 dpl teams and moving some dpl teams to aspire. man, this is too funny.

that was the result of a fever frenzy 20 pager that said they were going GA as factual.

Now what probably really happened was there was an attempt and application/interest. Fortunately for the girls nothing came from it


Didnt most clubs this time last year for recruiting list normal tryout emails and changed after the fact? Wth NDA from new league they are prohibited in announcing anything. So i wouldn't put much weight in teams posting. Reference to whatever er league they are in currently
yea those NDAs help. But there is always a blind spot around ID sessions. Dont want to be sued for false advertising so certain branding disappears online.

I hope Arl doesnt swap. That would be disappointing especially if the boys dont get a ROI on the gamble


Why would it be disappointing?
