If anything happens with college soccer NWSL is positioning to address.[/quote]

UMD’s women’s team had a 2M annual budget. On what planet can NWSL teams afford to replicate that? [/quote]

In the world where NCAA continues to lose court cases and colleges eventually get forced to pay student athletes for their services. The second this happens several colleges will drop college women's and men's soccer. Maybe some will keep it around but that will be a choice made by the school. Also the schools will need to decide if they want to win or just compete because how much you pay players will determine how competitive the team is.

NWSL and all the pro leagues are watching what happens with NCAA and will capitalize on the changes. Maybe it will include a clearly defined player pathway and associated amateur league (NWSL Next). Maybe clubs will just throw 500k at the top college players in signing  bonuses to pull them out of college before graduation.

Either way NWSL is positioning for a world where NCAA + college socver might not exist in the form it's setup as today.[/quote]

You seem to think NWSL is doing much better financially than it actually is.[/quote]

I think NWSL is making plans for when/if NCAA college sports as we know it today blows up. Also yes, 500k signing bonuses are happening for top players in the NWSL.

Didn't you see that the presiding judge in the house case said NCAA needed to revome all language related to collectives and NIL? This was NCAAs last backstop for controlling players and how they get paid. With it removed NCAA has no power or control over players. From a college perspective if you have to pay players might as well form your own conference + stop paying NCAA.

All kinds of crazy things are coming to college sports soon.[/quote]

Nothing is blowing up.  NCAA has plenty of power over players.  Only about 10 schools will want to break from NCAA -- not likely to happen.  NWSL makes almost no money -- there is nothing on the table that will change that.[/quote]
