Not sure Vic. When you look all the way down USL Championship, USL 1 and USL 2, there are sufficient clubs in Florida to stand alone. The same for a Georgia, SC, and NC. The question is buy in. Will all those clubs place teams in the Academy league? SCUFC is a good example. They have quality options now, but as a part of USL, they could submit a team (and will likely be encouraged to). Question for them is do they, and which group of kids?

Several clubs will be in similar situations and will surely watch the landscape closely. That said, I don’t think travel would be that egregious. Wilmington, Tormenta, Raleigh, Gville, Charlotte, Columbia all are likely to have teams.
