I’m surprised Solar didn’t put in whatever team Ackerson has put together as Solar East.

Texas used an existing classic team to secure a spot for another team?

No, the Texans had their best team that wasn’t in CL last year qualify. The Texans also had Byes to assign since Both D1 teams last yr went DA. Those assignments were made after qualifying. Which then left the Texans with a D2 bye to assign.

TY! I bet we're going to see some interesting changes from the DA departures.

Re: Classic D2...What happened to Texans West?
Still doesn’t explain why Texans didn’t keep that spot that Connell earned in QT. I would have though Texans would have put something together for that spot. Either they couldn’t put a team together for the D2 spot, or they somehow lost control of the spot.
I doubt they would have let it go to Solar (who now has 8 teams in Classic) without a fight.
That last solar team is in for a long year after going 6-8-4 in PPIL D2 last year! Even with the post DA depleted Classic League.

Re: Classic D2...What happened to Texans West?
How does this benefit anyone other than the clubs saying they have D1 spot while recruiting- and Classic keeping the big clubs happy?
Oh- right!!!!
It all comes down $$$$ !!!!!
Not the best of the best!!!
D1 doesn't even 1/2 of the total rosters combined as whole returning because of DA and byes.
Being able to say your "D1" - what does that mean nowadays???

Honestly, that was a pretty dumb response. Sorry, couldn't think of any other way to describe that kind of nonsense.
Of course this an adult prospective since we are supposed to be adults and I didn't imply anything about what your child thought.
But, there is an obvious difference between your kids/ relatives vs mine. My 3 boys view D1 as the best of the best or top division because of how they are originally formed and maintained - other than the byes that watered this down now. My boys all know D1, D2, D3, Gold, Silver, Bronze, A, AA, AAA, Majors are. So I guess you and I have kids that are 2 different levels of desire to excel!
My point is for those of you who are able to read this from an an adult/ parent prospective:
Do you care about D1 vs D2 with these type of byes and teams changing levels that haven't earned it?
Does it really matter like it used to when considering teams you may want to tryout for?
Or does your kid just want ice cream?

I agree that Classic is watered down in terms of the absence of top talent from the Big 3 clubs. I still think the competition level will be great for the kids involved. I really doubt the kids playing classic league will suffer or even care much. That's my perspective. My kid wants to both play soccer at the highest level he can, and to have ice cream as often as possible. Darn kids, what do they know...

Classic stuff! "best of the best" "desire to excel"
As if there is any correlation. Some of the best to ever come out of NTX couldn't tell you who was across the pitch on game day.
Players play. Period

8 teams in classic for Solar (D2 heavy) and 6 for FCD counting ETX.
Times are changing.

Re: Classic D2...What happened to Texans West?
Maybe your kids "desire to excel" is not as high as you think, if they think D1 Classic is the best of the best and not DA.JukusHakeem wrote:Uncleof05AP wrote:Are you asking from the perspective of a parent or from that of an eleven year old kid?

Re: Classic D2...What happened to Texans West?
But I thought we were talking about Classic League or did you get confused too???
The answer is he is aware of DA - but he also plays Select Baseball and also Select basketball.
Actually all 3 of my boys play Select Baseball and basketball on top of select soccer and the oldest even plays and starts as QB on school football team.
Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!
And I'll pass on your ice cream so you don't feel uncomfortable!!
