Buckminster Fuller once said, "You never change things by fighting an existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." Here is a model that will make the current state of US soccer obsolete: the USAFL (United States Association Football Leagues). They plan on setting up a pro/rel structure in which clubs can enter into their system at the lowest level and progress their way up. They will start by having 3 divisions: a local, state, and regional, and they will progress those levels up as more states and regions get involved. Once they get established, we will truly have a pro/rel system in which you can start in your state/county league then progress up into D1. (USAFL website)
That is one viable option for a new system. Let me know what you think about their system in the comments section below., and also let me know of any other alternatives to a pro/rel system, with or without MLS.
