That would mean you could play in the US and still play in top level competition.
I'm talking decades here though.

yeah it's inevitable. i hate the idea of football in a 20 team, one league format though. with play-offs at the end of a season and no relegation/promotion. drafts and salary caps. signing players out of college and all the sleazy actions that accompany it. the thing is, in america business owners frequently buy sports teams just as an asset. it's not like football where you have smaller local teams who give the Jamie Vardy's a way to make a name for themselves, or big teams a la Leeds getting relegated and changing the shape of a league. these variables are what gives football the most unique professional sport system in the world.
