This might come as a surprise, but we don't have the talent pool, let alone a multi-tiered league like they do in Europe.
What happens when Benfica II wins the Segunda? They stay there.

Our top tier player pool isn't that good, but we have a significant enough player pool to fill out a league.

This doesn't include young pros/ex-pros playing in L1O type divisions which is probably more.
Similar to MLS, I see CPL haven't similar drop off of talent between starter and squad player. Starter quality with internationals should be around USL level (obviously depending on salary cap).
I get that, but as it stands TFC (and TFC II) function the same way the would if a CPL is formed with a TFC II in it.....only difference would be the league name unless I'm missing something....
Besides, we have no pro/rel here anyways, so teams would be staying in their respective leagues form year to year.....
your thinking tfc2 switches leagues? I dont think thats gonna fly with CPL. I dont see them allowing players to move back and forth like they do b/w MLS and USL. This will be a 3rd team if MLSE gets involved.
plus, that current location YFC2 plays out of is not going to attract anyone
