"USL has announced that they will start a 3rd division in 2019 - USLD3."
Isn't this how USL ran 10 years ago? In the pre-TOA days. I realize that the current USL teams have been much more stable than a decade ago but this all sounds very familiar. USL running the lower divisions of the pyramid, with USL-1 (now -Pro), USL-2 (now USLD3), and PDL.
