Personally, I believe USSF needs to be completely separated from MLS leadership. MLS owners want to make money and they can maximize their profits by spending as little as possible on development, i.e. overhead. It's the NFL business model which basically uses NCAA as no to low cost development system. Of course, this should be no surprise as there are quite a few NFL owners who are also MLS owners. USSF need to be focused on youth development and the national teams, which is a long-term business strategy that does not lead to crazy profits. [/QUOTE]
