In addition to that, however, SuperLiga can be dealt with by having teams not competing in Concacaf qualify, and treating it rather like the UEFA cup as compared to the Champions League. At least that way the same 4 clubs won't be playing so many mid-week fixtures, and some other clubs can get the international experience/exposure.

Not just because of the weather situation but also do to the the competition with NFL,NBA, and NHL which would kill the league. I do think the league should open in early march though. It would ease up on the jam pack tourney schedule later in the season. Though one of the real problems looks like it won't be solved any time soon in that they seem to insist on continuing superliga.
