OT: Other Buffalo Sports (Bandits, Beauts, Bisons, NCAA Basketball and Football)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

To be clear, the MLS isn't going to be involved in this. The "top" league a team can get promoted to would be a supposed top division league ran by the USL (USL Division One) competing with MLS.

In reality it likely would be the 2nd tier league in the US with the other two USL leagues being tier 3 and 4, with the MLS remaining the clear top league (and continuing on without promotion/relegation). MLS teams are already in the most attractive markets with established media contracts.

Absolutely.

But, this news is an interesting twist and may see the USL run where the NASL 2.0 walked.

It certainly will test all the NA soccer fans that feel like Pro-Rel will make huge inroads to increasing the interest in NA pro mens soccer. I have been skeptical about Pro-Rel being that impactful in the past. So, it will be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

Personally, I would love to see the three level USL pyramid thrive due to Pro-Rel. Especially since it will mess with the soccer oligarchs involved with the MLS-Soccer United Marketing-US Soccer axis of power.
