Champions League reform, specifically reform to include cup winners. I don't think that this move threatens a move to a European SuperLeague... I think that it all but GUARANTEES it. 5-10 years down the road, if the G-50 don't get their way at every turn, then we're looking at a European Premiership and European Championship... or hell, maybe they won't even stand for that much promotion/relegation. We'll go from 4 or 5 competitive top leagues worth watching to one, with everyone else on the outside looking in. ...and maybe then MLS will be on par with the rest of the world?
