So as not to seem like a
@dreamz killer, I do believe the bozo brigade thought the DAII would fly and that US Soccer would sanction it. I do believe that NG thought with his connections to US Soccer that he could convince them this was the next great thing needed on the girls side. They all bought in to the idea without a game plan and ran with it, sold it and promised it. All because they did believe it would happen with US Soccer. Now that they have been told no, they have to figure out the backup plan. If ANY of these guys is telling you DAII is going to happen here is what you need to know.
1. It won't be called DAII. It will be called NPL through US Club. The acronym they will use for NPL will be DAII but this is just lipstick on the pig. The only league that could be called DAII would be a league sanctioned, and run, by US Soccer.
2. The teams playing in NPL will not be able to play National Cup.
3. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being on a B team.
I don't understand why they have to try and create something more than what they already have and just focus on the college exposure for these players. An NPL league doesn't give them that.
There are a lot of people passionate about this subject and I hope it works out for everyone. Just be smart people. I would not put a penny out to anyone without seeing something in writing about the league I was signing up to play in. The smoke and mirrors parlor will be hard to get out of once you are in it financially. Like ESPNAnalyst says, they have 4 months to come up with something. Maybe they will and maybe they won't. But, I would not given em' a penny until that "something" is public knowledge and endorsed by whomever is endorsing it. Not just info on a club website. Until then, buyer beware.
