MLS teams want players that strive to be professionals. The U19 players are primarily trying to get recruited by colleges. Cut them all loose. Only invest in players that choose to forego college. It makes perfect sense.

If you want to go to college you can play for a non-MLS club.
If your child plays U15 or below you’ll be looking for a new team by recruiting time.

They are no longer investing money in players interested in building resumes for their college applications.
Dropping the U19 team is honestly the smartest thing they could do. If you aren’t a Homegrown by 17 then they are done spending money on you.
There’s a new sheriff in town and the changes are already being felt. Buckle up.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIn theory, sure. But most of the players MLS is developing 1) aren't good enough to go pro 2) don't want to go pro. College is a reality here. High level players have opportunities to play in college at a good discount, while going pro carries heaps of uncertainty and lousy rookie pay. If MLS splits off on their own they still have to grapple with those conflicting interests for many of their players
