My hope is to bring all the clubs together, including the viable ones from NASL and USL, and creating a three tiered structure. You could have MLS and USL1 and USL2 or you could have MLS and MLS2 and MLS3.


No way those recent ownership groups like nycfc with the oil barons or David beckham sign off on that after ivnesting over 100 million dollars. That ship sailed the day the league was set up and went the franchise model route and having MLS control everything contract wise.

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.
