USL: Explosive expansion can take advantage of opportunity
The two top leagues in USL will explode by about 40 expansion teams. Such expansion can take advantage of the opportunity — economic and otherwise — at stake in a growing sport.
As April 2020 crawled to a close, United Soccer League President Jake Edwards said his organization was awaiting restart of play with all other sports leagues. But they are not waiting for expansion.
Edwards said the USL League One was looking to grow by up to 10 teams. Yet their focus for rapid, explosive expansion is the USL Championship. The organization is in talks with more than 30 communities to start teams there as soon as possible.
