I was passed the full @ussoccer.com proposal slide show for the US Soccer and NCAA soccer partnership/professionalization model. I have included it here
I would love to hear your opinions on this.

Kid made a banger PowerPoint. CPC liked it & DG got his hands on dirty, inserting "revenue" here & here, etc. & viola!
1. Let's do it bc money
2. We'll figure out the rest (ie fields, infrastructure) later
3. We'll help you get money from investors, trust us
4. Relax, soccer in the U.S. is booming, WC26, blah
1) revenue
2) costs
3) student-athlete experience
Student-athlete experience should come first
The audience was athletic departments. Since when has their top priority not been revenue... lol
Universities always claim they can’t pay athletes, err student-athletes, because they are students first
Really, they aren’t that important
Please feel free to reach out to me with any information.

This, to me, is also a proposal to go pro. You aren't joining the FIFA player transfer market without contacts unless we are talking strictly TC and Solidarity Payments.
It makes sense to start there.
From a practicality standpoint it makes perfect sense.
But when money comes first, development comes last.
