But he doesn't anymore ;)
hahaha, the SF teams block all new teams that wanted to come in. When I was there I wanted to bang my head against the wall trying to bring teams...
Yeah the proposal is for d1 only right now, but maybe d2 and d3 would do something similar. '4th' division teams would have to get non-college...
To be honest, PDL/NPSL are same level- doesn't really matter the level of investment the team has to make now. The top teams from both leagues...
So what should the aim of the new commish be? Some of the things PMI did were good. The league definitely needed someone to come in and be the...
Good for them, they are a great organization.
who the hell is their first team?
You're 100% correct Kenn. It will be hard for a few of those groups as I don't think there are too many, and then add in geography...that is...
I like that idea of the fall schedule. This short season stuff is great for the college players, but to the owners it's a lot of money to play a...
Is PDL Plus the extended season? I must have missed something in here. I heard that they were talking about a longer season.
Well we are trying to get it all together now with Sammers SC - so the website is coming along, membership, scarves etc. We have our facebook...
You can have Pro teams in an 'Amateur' league though. Unless that has changed.
great stuff Kenn - tks!
Yes I know, I wanted to go last year. Thought it would be fun to see. Still would like to watch it, would be a fun thing to go and watch.
and they added a PDL team on top of this? Doesn't seem good down there, spending money all over the place.
Yeah I had a chance to speak with the folks at APS and said you might want to get rid of this league partnership. With the match fixing and...
did you get into my notes from when I worked for the league a few years ago ;) honestly that is what we had drawn up for the northeast to be...
haha - Once they decided not to pay me any more I decided to leave! Yeah being owed commission is not fun, but whatever, if I was a poor...
isn't that a group that most of the teams wanted out of the league? Maybe that is why they are pissy.
and to get back to the slow announcements of teams. I agree that it is silly to drag out the announcements. If there was a deadline, why would...
Well the balance doesn't really matter too much. The teams all have an equal vote on how it is run. So maybe with more teams coming into the...
Maybe they have some sort of tourism dollars that the one team had in the PDL - remember that? it offset the costs, but then that tourism $$ got...
I've posted this in the "You be the Hitch" posting as well. There is no such thing as Semi-Pro. FIFA/US Soccer has Professional and Amateur...
Yes they are considered amateur. Amateur Leagues can have professional teams. We had discussed that 4-5 years ago in the NPSL when there was a...
Plus there is no actual Semi-Professional Designation from FIFA/USSF. There is only Professional and Amateur. You can actually have Professional...
