I believe it could happen. It would be unique to American professional sports leagues. It is a ways off, I would say there is no chance that it will happen in the next ten years but I believe that it could be gradually added to the model. It all depends on continued future growth in terms of investment, enthusiasm, and revenue. MLS may outright purchase NASL or you could possibly see a merger along the lines of the NFL and AFL. It is quite possible that some blending could be ahead all for the purpose of growing the pie. MLS owners can have their investments protected if there is enough revenue that can be captured.

I think a huge problem with fans is the unrealistic expectations people have and want the MLS to become. We are used to having the best league in pretty much every sport with all the money and pick of the players. So seeing an American League so far down in the pecking order. Also doesn't help when the comish says we are going to be a top 5 league by 2022 or guys like Lalas saying its a top ten league doesn't help.

Honestly there is nothing wrong with the MLS quality being like the Brazilian or Argentina league. Good quality and the clubs and league making money on our home grown players going to Europe.
