  • "Yeah, it's something that's possible," USL President Jake Edwards told FourFourTwo when asked about the possibility of promotion and relegation between the divisions. "We've spoken already internally. Obviously, at the league office, we're looking at it. We have an executive committee, which is a subset of our team owners, and they actually even brought it up. We discussed it a little bit. There's a lot more discussion that needs to take place, but for us, we've got to build the structure first. We're got to get the right teams, right owners, the right stadiums. We've got to build an infrastructure with substantial stability and quality. Any sort of movement between leagues that's potentially possible needs to have the foundation in place. It's not something that you can engage in day one. Probably a sensible step is to look at an inter-league cup and see how the two leagues interact with each other, and then maybe as we progress we can certainly look at moving teams up and down."
  • "We are targeting a 10- to 12-team launch ahead of 2019, and then we'll build [from] that on sort of a regional basis over the next three to five years," Edwards told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
  • "...we expect it [USL Division III] to be around a six-or-seven month season with a month or so of preseason activities starting in the spring and ending in the fall," USL Vice President of Competition & Techincal Development Gordon Bengtson told USLD3.com. "The final match week will occur before the USL Division II roster freeze date to allow some of the top players from Division III to get an opportunity with those Division II clubs."
