Fair, and completely correct. But with this going on, the "reasons" for the not playing next/with paid athletes would likely be non existent you...
Colleges are now paying players via "NIL" (Name Image and Likeness) often times MORE money than D3 soccer professionals. So why is there a reason...
You'd think with NIL they could amend/rid themselves of this ... since some NIL paid college athletes make a LOT more than the "teammates" on some...
The "BIG 12" is pretty void of men's soccer and that's a big hole in the D4 map. KU, KState, MU, OSU, OU ... plenty. Oklahoma State has a pretty...
MLS Academies have a U19 (which is effectively U18) I believe. I also think their MLSNextPro essentially fills the U23 gap. One thought I had...
So he's from Omaha so I thought he may eventually get loaned to Omaha Union ... but Carolina Core has a SKC/PV connection that may trump geography...
With NIL ... is there any way college soccer and some of the upper levels of non professional soccer merge in such a way where there is some more...
I was being sarcastic ... ofcourse they can lose him ... that likely is the betting favorite based on the last few high end prospects to leave.
We could NEVER lose 2 2008 high level CBs!
Sorry, I was counting San Antonio as one of the 3 Texas teams entering in the round of 32. There are just so many teams in the group entering the...
Not saying it won't as it likely will, but we could get pushed further east even. I'd lean towards the North though. I think the 3 Texas teams,...
After the 2nd round was played last night it's getting close enough to kind of "look ahead" and see what might happen with the draw. First I kind...
Georgia Lions not playing in the Open Cup and the schedule being pushed back says maybe they won't be a team this year ... which is funny, NISA...
Unless MLS doesn't care about the Open Cup ... in which case, why update those rules specifically. And ... IMO, there are 4 or 5 MLS rostered...
It's the same "ownership group" not "same team". And I thought USSF PLS required 1st teams to enter (using whatever Roster rules that league...
It wasn't that NASL didn't want the standards, but USSF were granting certain waivers and not granting others ... giving MLS a waiver regarding...
Right ... USL's willingness to not require a 4 year contract (Has MLS backed of the 2 guarantees plus 2 club option years as a minimum contract...
I saw it posted on Reddit. the "10.6%" of USSF votes may be right ... unless you think that some of the other voting members have MLS tie's or...
So to prevent Academy players/families from thinking you can "force" HG contracts ... you potentially set a standard/optics that even if you're...

It's becoming harder to recruit those players with more MLS teams in locations AND USL becoming a viable path for top rated youth players (and a...
That's kind of "good" to hear ... I read that tweet from Marcus and immediately thought we were blocking (or asking for too much $$) a move from...
To be fair regarding the "Kante" not choosing SKC path ... going from Rockhurst to Virginia makes you wonder if prioritizing education came into...
I agree ... just throwing out hopes and dreams ... way to kill it. Buzz, let's make a push to get a team (let's say Uzbekistan) to set up shop at...
