Did anyone from the draft agree to play? Also, isn't Kim Hill starting a similar type of league?

I like that. I hope they can begin with a sustaining model; like the NWSL soccer league. They clamped down on team salaries until the league could become self-sufficient.

Kim Hill's league looks a lot more interesting and more US support in regard to players and coaches...I'm sorry but I felt after season 1 of AU it was the Larson show with no real competition, though it's intent was to bring in foreign pro players... they should have brought in some of the retired US players if they wanted to be commercial...people would have loved to see Scott Tom Berg out there

They clamped down on team salaries until the league could become self-sufficient. sorta like that but also not. i dont think they plan on starting with franchises originally... but starting in one city/area and then expanding. they're (lovb) are buying up a ton of youth clubs... they want to align them in the future kinda like how europe does... but europe doesnt have the ncaa problem... so idk. not a ton of details out yet.

(honestly, you could probably get Tom to play and it'd be fine lol) It was designed to be the larson show. they need her for the marketability. no one in the USA touches her. sure they'd like more, better players... but money isn't comparable for the elite players who are overseas.

I imagine Samedy already went pro....Stivrins slide worked for college, but not so much this season and that was her 1 skill on a good set...she would get schooled....if Sun cared to play it would have been good for AU but I bet she was done and made her decision to stop playing once her business was starting to be successful
