Hyped to have this Riveters/Steel City piece on the cover of the @pghcitypaper.com this week! It's a huge moment for women's soccer and soccer in the city of Pittsburgh. The potential is here to turn this opportunity into something bigger, I hope everyone takes it!
Those salaries and increasing scale, exclusive of housing, insurance, etc. are very solid indeed. That's great news.
Hopefully that woefully low USLC number can get negotiated to a reasonable place with similar escalators, a work stoppage would be completely disastrous for the league.

Sources: Talks between the USL and the USL Players Association on a new CBA for players in the USL Championship are continuing. As part of this, the USL has proposed a set of minimum salaries for the new Division I league scheduled to begin play in 2028.

Pro-Am does not exist in the U.S. soccer structure and any reporting should mention that. This will not be PLS sanctioned. Players cannot be registered with USSF as "pro-am", you are one or the other. This will effectively just be an unregulated paying of amateurs.
Today @theleaguefc.bsky.social announces the establishment of a new Pro-Am League. The league will feature regional play and blended rosters of paid and unpaid players. It's the next layer in TLfC's approach to make soccer more functional and affordable.

The owners/league are never the allies of the players, remember that. They want to exploit and extract maximum value from them while giving them as little as possible in return.
Always support labor. Always support the NWSLPA.

As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

Expecting Houston to add a DP and two TAM signings over next few weeks.
Big offseason for the Dynamo, looking to add a number of key starters

The BBWAA has turned the Hall of Fame into a meaningless joke. It doesn't represent anything about the best to play the game anymore.

Not even joking, that OPI should be a loss of downs and the penalty yardage.

Give me 16 teams, every conference champ guaranteed, and then full at-large bids the rest of the way.
My argument against the playoff from its introduction is that it's the only postseason in college sports that doesn't offer a bid to every conference champion and that remains true

I am fine with the CFP teams. The committee is awful, give me back the computers.
Flipping Miami and ND makes no sense. Should never have been ranked that way last week.
How can you drop BYU for the CCG loss but not Bama? Inconsistent.
There should be no CFP rankings before the final one.
