Heard there is a real possibility of the following:
GA folding into ECNL girls
ECNL boys folding into MLSN T1/T2

I think this hinges on equity investment into ECNL, so who knows if that will actually happen. But I've heard it from coaching directors at a few big clubs in Michigan. And I've seen clubs move their ECNL boys teams into MLSN T2.

Result: ECNL becomes the girls pyramid up through academy level, MLSN becomes the boys pyramid up through the academy level. USYS continues to try to make the national league more relevant, and continues to fail to do so.
