From a negotiation standpoint, Where do you go when MLS offers 50k/year? Universities shell out more than 50k on a full scholarship.
It’s an insult to be on a u20 World Cup roster and be offered 50k/year
Yup part of problem is the wage scale, but the other part is limiting competition and that's was MLS, USSF, and ussda has done with there closed system and practices.
Those Euporean clubs aren't paying new academy recruits that much either, 100k living in eupore playing on the u23 or second teams is not that much different financially vs MLS top recuits get from the get go on homegrown deals. MLS needs to figure out how to increase the wage scale for all players and not just give the $7+ million dollars away annually to many of the aging Euporean players that come over to sell tickets.
