Unintended consequence will be some clubs will leave. Who wants to be second or third string

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAbsurd - then who is the first? If any of this is true, no way MLS would stand to be #2. Also, splitting into three tiers will make travel impossible for everyone without a massive expansion, which as someone said is contrary to the mission. There are already too many clubs to players that shouldn't be in the system - unless all USSF cares about is market share, which seems to be the case,

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBut that travel would become the norm for all if it's divided into three brackets. Even if they added 30 new clubs (from where I don't know because there's some that should be ejected now), it wouldn't make much of a dent by the time it's split across three brackets and geographically. It would also require a fair and consistent system of promotion and relegation. This is USSF we're talking about, an organization not all trust these days. And would MLS clubs be willing to foot the bills for training players in the C bracket? How many parents want to pay to play in the C bracket? Adding slews of clubs take away the elite nature of the program as well. If you're not playing the top clubs in the country what's so special about it?

It will be a three tier system with limited crossovers between the tiers. Tier one most likely all MLS. Rumor is that the third tier will allow high school which seems to be a defensive move against ECNL

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf this isn’t just TS rumor, does anyone know when anything of substance will be released in terms of how it will work, club changes, etc?
This has been DAPs MO lately as witnessed by the initiative that allows small players to play down. Still waiting for documentation on that
