Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou think these USL teams can support DA teams? This will still be a pay to play model. Just them trying to get a piece of the youth soccer pie to subsidize their "pro" teams. Until USA adopts the fees associated with selling youth players and portions some of that to teams that have trained the kids this will never work.
MLS teams have recently stated that they will participate in giving/receiving training compensation and solidarity payments. One could assume that USL pro teams will follow the same model.....

Pleeeeeeeeease. Adding a star to the jersey would be amazing. Great they travelled out to Colorado but don’t call it a NATIONAL Championship.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthey will just stop fielding teams because they can only field the best teams. so if they can't be in the best bracket, they will just shut it down. cause nothing else is worth playing for or talking about.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSure, you can speculate. But USSF DA really is not needed anymore. The pro clubs in the USA (and there are plenty of them) can form their own league and develop players as they wish.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPro clubs can do whatever they choose but most are not profitable and cannot bear the financial burden of offering anything free or discounted. ISL leagues will be entirely pay to play and travel costs will be substantial. Not sure it will make financial or soccer sense for mAny to pay so much to be in a definite B or even C League.

On the flip side more are adding residency programs - investing more than ever before. They can then recruit from anywhere in the country if they want
