May 3May 3 The USL is adding promotion and relegation in two years. In addition, they are going to the proper soccer calendar of AUG-MAY. The USL final already drew better TV ratings than the MLS final. You can buy in to the semi-pro USL League 2 for $75,000 and work your way up to top flight soccer. With a $500M buy in to MLS, no owner wants to risk relegation. MLS will continue to try and fit a square NFL peg in an international soccer round hole and get left in the dust. Eric Wynalda has some good podcasts on it if you want a deep dive into the topic. They’re also on the Golz TV YouTube channel.
May 5May 5 They need a completely committed major broadcast partner who wants to sell the promotion/relegation aspect. Fighting the NFL for attention is of course nearly impossible in the first half of that season schedule.
