It’s a lot more than just the 50 States.
It’s their whole DNA towards sport and their fabric incl the amount of billionaires ! 
Only in the USA as they say - no where, no where can or should follow their sports models.
It just cannot work elsewhere just out of the blue as it tried to replicate here.


yeah the tricky part is we have to invent something new here as there is no comparable country to australia
- sparse population spread out over massive continent
- low participation rate (by global standards) because football isn't the most popular sports

even rugby league can have p and r in england yet no code in australia has even a second division despite being much richer.

my model is to siphon off some of fa's budget to fund a conference division in between the 2 top national tiers and the npl and have a limit on how many leagues some clubs can get relegated to if they meet certain off field criteria until the magic of p and r gets us to a place where there is enough football infrastructure out there to make it work
