Actually North American pro leagues are kind of the misfit when it comes to promotion-relegation.
But do not look for it any time soon in any North American Leagues. Primarily because most lower league teams in North America are affiliated with a major league team. In countries where p&r is used the lower league clubs are not affiliated with a parent club. Another reason is because of the high price for expansion teams in North America. If someone has enough money they buy their way into the top league. In other countries clubs start at the lowest level and have to work their way up, so if I wanted to start a new team I would have to start way down in the amateur or semi-pro league and try to get my club up through promotion.
