Ive always wondered if a "closed promotion/relegation" would work with the NASL and obviously as a test of its potential.

If the MLS had an odd number of teams (though since MLS uses an unbalanced schedule it really doesnt matter), the NASL champion gets promoted to the MLS for 1 season. If the NASL team finishes last, they get relegated w/the NASL champion taking their place. If they finish anything other than last, they have a 2-leg playoff with the NASL champion to retain their spot or get relegated.

Just a thought.

I don't see the NASL going for it because it would cement them as below the MLS by not allowing MLS clubs to be relegated

Not sure if Kevfu posts here, but he has had a great idea for pro/rele but contained to MLS teams that I loved. Might try to dig them up again..
