but not in the USL

The FC NY story goes from bad, to worse...

If they drop any farther my team will soon face them in the Tuesday night men's rec league at the National Sports Center.

I almost put a team into the NPSL in 2009, they actually have some pro players spread around...head to head the NPSL is pretty much on the level of the USL PDL...but the USL has a much better website! Considering the entry into the PDL was $75K and the entry into the NPSL was $10K...well, the difference wasn't THAT much.

the extra $65k went to the Generalisimo Marcos' monthly first class flights between Portugal and Tampa

and now the NPSL is going pro...I would have so loved to see Mr. Marcos squirm

The NPSL is entering a new phase this year as some teams will have the option to turn professional. The league will be making an announcement soon regarding the structure of the salary cap, but paid players will be allowed in the NPSL for the first time in 2012. Teams will either be professional or amateur in makeup, as the NCAA states that amateur players cannot play with professional players without forfeiting their college eligibility. College players can play against professionals though, so you can expect to see some more important friendly dates on our calendar this season. FC Buffalo will continue to host an amateur team this season, and we're very excited to be announcing some more signings soon.

I know some people that have been involved with the NPSL and their move to go from non-profit last year to a profit model has been less then stellar. It sounds like FC NY isn't the only ones who have had major internal issues.
