Elite Academy League (EA) - National Expansion

I just learned that Surf is sending some of their U16-U19 players to train with the the Loyal Select their Youth Academy program of the USL. Good for those kids in SD!

Here is a link to the new USL Academy: https://www.usl-academy.com/academy-league. Is this league higher than the MLS Next?

Matter of opinion. MLS clubs will say go from MLS Next to MLS Pro to USL affiliate to MLS is a easier pathway.
USL Clubs will say go from USL-A to non-MLS USL then to an MLS USL affiliate then to MLS is another pathway.

I know players turning down USL-A options for an MLS Academy. I also know of players who have tried out for MLS academies U17 or U19 teams that did not make them but are starters at USL-A teams.

So, yeah, matter of opinion...
 
Any news to new clubs for the EA and EA2 for the next season? I heard TFA will have EA2 teams too.
