And a response to other poster BSC repuation is at all time low why sell but you should also note its also at all time high with respect liquid assets. If a deal is signed off it could be a win-win. Something to think about before you to try to debunk. Don't get me wrong MK is going nowhere but cashing out in reinventing himself in a tough market is a legitimate strategy. This happens all the time in many service industries. People sell/cash out the better-positioned company in a hostile market and bunker down. Ride out the storm and sit sidelines until the noncompete clause ends and then reenter the industry. Happens all the time, the company makes a tactical mistake in hostile market short-term exit plan could be a long-term genius move.
The trick is separating the BSC cash from the older DA badges.

In theory if DA expands as rumored BS would still be fine because they'd have to add a lot more clubs to make the travel manageable. But then it also makes non MLS DA more like high level premier, so why spend the $ and give up HS if you're not playing against MLS teams?
The suggested merger makes sense. Options for facilities are nonexistent. NYCFC will continue poaching the stars. Leader of club is aging out and losing mojo. Totally can see a merger/eventual buyout happening.

This sounds like a mess. First affiliation with NYCFC was terminated due to BS losing its best players. Now a merger with NYSC would mean what? Top players leave to NYSC would put BSC in same position as before.
Most importantly, what does any of this have to do with the better development of youth players? Absolutely nothing. All about $ and prestige in this industry, nothing to do with developing better players and the passion for soccer.

This is a meaningless merge, the older elite players at NYSC still won’t go to Beachside.
Beachside as somehow convinced NYSC to funnel their older boys to BSC and In turn BSC will funnel their girls to the NYSC DA. Suppose to be win win but NYSC doesn’t need BSC for anything. The BSC girls program sucks NYSC girls program is mediocre so no uptick in that.
NYSC boys fair and good training. BSC DA failing rapidly.
I doubt very much NYSC started this conversation to deal. NYSC would have done much better teaming up or selling out to World Class.
A World Class/NYSC would be a perfect team to take FCWs DA.

I gotta say at every last minute MK seems to always pull a Rabbit outta of a hat.

Last year the announcements for changes to the DA (expansion) were announced in late January/February. NYSC has been very focused on getting full DA for the boys program. NYSC has had nine US national team players since its founding in 2009 ( most of them in the last 2-3 years).
Any potential deal would seem to be Beachside merging into, being acquired by, or (most likely being affiliated with NYSC. NYSC has the facilities, the pedigree (with having produced 9 national team players and one coach recently being appointed as a national team cosch) and the teams to support it.
Beachside has not been helped by its USDA U 18/19 team losing 10-1 and then 7-0 to Montreal this fall.
Were Beachside to be told in advance of the public announcement that it was going to lose some of it’s DA teams it would makes sense to announce some sort of deal with NYSC (merger/ affiliation) to put the best face on it.
