Having the right to do something and doing the right thing are not necessarily synonyms. And given Canada and the US have a significant, long running history of operating cross border soccer leagues, refusing to sanction an existing team that is uncertain about a new league this late in the game remains petty. Tell them they need a plan for 2020 if you like, but this is not a good look for CONCACAF's leadership, AFAIK.
Also, lets be blunt. We have no idea if the CPL will be equivalent to the USL at this point. So that argument is empty.
