What would happen if MLS added relegation and a lower division?

Congratulations, you just shrunk the number of franchises in the MLS by the number of relegation spots. Is that what you wanted? No American multi-millionaire or Fortune 500 company is going to sponsor a team with limited visibility and TV exposure.

i dont know why foreigners are so obsesed with relegation, all your leagues are farmers leagues where 1-2 teams dominated, with the exception of the prem (because money is more distributed)

salary caps and revenue sharing are 100x more important than relegation/promotion

there would be a lot of people feigning ignorance to how relegation system worked in order to have something to talk about when the subject came up

Vice versa with promotion/relegation an owner could be incentivized to buy a low level team at a discount and proceed to build them up to an MLS level team thereby reaping the benefits of a top level team but with a much lower cost of entry
