re: Relegation in America

Only two divisions would work. MLS,NASL/USL
Revenues would have to split evenly throughout the two tiers. This is the only way American owners would be willing to invest in 2nd tier teams and its also the reason that it will never happen, (Current MLS owners are not going to slice up, an already thin revenue pie, with a table full of 2nd tier teams.)
Say 24 MLS teams and 20 teams in the 2nd division.
Bottom 2 would be relegated. Top 2 would be promoted.
Some form of playoff to determine the two teams promoted out of the 2nd division, maybe even included the bottom two MLS teams in that playoff.
There would have to be a rework on salary/contracts/transfers for the MLS.
Finances are the reason this will never happen but its fun to think about.
