My understanding is that the 50% rule is alive and well. There won't be any influx of NC kids into SC, nor will there be NC teams coming into SC to play.
My take is that this Alliance will be the vehicle to allow SC kids from York County to flow back and forth across the border and play where it makes sense. At the younger ages....that means NC and Charlotte United. As the kids get older (U13) they'll flow back across into SC and play for CSSC. Will also provide, as you pointed out, a logical path for rising U15 boys who have been playing in Charlotte to come back and compete at a pretty good level.
But I really think this is more about U9-12 kids being able to play in a more local settting.
