The rumbling that has been shaking the base of the American soccer pyramid since United Soccer Leagues was sold to an Atlanta-based group in August finally has split it in two. On Tuesday, the ‘Team Owners Association’, a consortium comprised of several existing and potential clubs, announced their secession from the league that has controlled this country’s second and third divisions for a dozen years.
But with TOA ringleaders in Montreal and Vancouver eyeing MLS, it makes sense to question how a new minor league (which already has applied for Division II status with the U.S. Soccer Federation), is going to work. The answer, according to sources and a bit of common sense, may be to serve as the true feeder system that MLS has never really had.
