After months of uncertainity, the second and third divisions of the US soccer pyramid have yet more uncertainty. For the first time since 2010, the USL is again the second division of American soccer. After a forced joint season in 2010, the NASL has been the second division and the USL has been the third division. Given the turmoil that the NASL has endured these past few months, and the continued strength and growth of USL, this decision is not surprising.
However, US Soccer has also continued to give the NASL division 2 status, not willing to kill the league by demoting them to division 3.
