Looks like Revs is East Red and Bolts is East Blue... so MLS and top-performing clubs and non-MLS clubs.

Maybe they should have relegation for all the clubs and not just MLS?
If Bolts continues to be second tier then one might consider how far above the non DA clubs they will be?
If they are second tier then why skip high school? why not play for ECNL which is gaining a little ground?
If there are now two tiers for DA, the the boys ECNL is now third tier?
I see non DA clubs gaining on this and the second tier DA clubs losing.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe Bolts have ECNL. Bolts DA gives waivers to play high school. As long as the Bolts keep churning out decent college commitments they’ll keep bringing in money.
Fact is, it isn't worth having a U18/U19 team since most of them don't show up in the Spring at all.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBut people ask for those waivers because DA is the top league - prestige, top competition, playing pro clubs. Now most non MLS clubs aren't in the top bracket. The competition isn't as strong and the pro-club aspect is gone (except maybe at a crossover game at a national event if the team qualifies). They also can't waiver everybody and there's resentment among players who can't get a waiver. This is year is probably an experiment, but if it continues I have no doubt more and more players will question why they're doing it

- Closest opponent is 800 miles away
- No league play against local rivals Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers or Vancouver Caps
- Travel budget expanded significantly
USSF's way of saying we really don't want you in the league anymore.....and by the way, the Yedlin lawsuit you filed against us didn't help in our decision making process!

MLS likes it that way!
