As recently as 2011, the professional soccer landscape was in relative stasis.

On the men’s side, Major League Soccer (MLS) had only recently stabilized and begun its growth, with fewer than 20 active clubs until 2015. The men’s lower divisions had splintered into two leagues: the North American Soccer League (NASL) occupied the second-division rung, and the United Soccer League (USL), then branded as USL Pro, kicked off as a third division. On the women’s side, the first-division Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) played its final season, two years before the National Women’s Soccer League’s (NWSL) debut.

The four leagues had a combined 44 teams, only six of which were women’s clubs.

In 2025, there are 119 professional clubs, with 22 women’s teams between the two Division I leagues, NWSL and the USL Super League. More are expected to join next year, including the dawn of professional lower-league women’s soccer, which has been lacking due in large part to historical underfunding. Despite the eye-popping valuations of clubs today, the NWSL — the third attempt at professional women’s soccer in the U.S. and the one that has been around the longest — has only recently reached its point of acceleration with the newest expansion team, Denver, paying $110 million to join.

On Friday, CBS Sports reported that the NWSL sent an application to U.S. Soccer to launch a second-division league. In its petition to the federation, NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman said launching this league would be “essential for (its) development and sustainability,” citing player and staff development.

The proposed league resembles a reserve league rather than a second tier; Berman’s letter likened it to Major League Baseball’s minor leagues. Affiliates are common in sports as a way of developing players and providing another path to pros for those not quite ready for primetime. It’s also an avenue for markets that wouldn’t be considered for the top division to get in on the fun, all while helping players and staff bolster their resumes for upward mobility.

But is the scale of increase answering a need, or causing a convoluted shape that looks less like a pyramid and, instead, becoming something far more amorphous?

In a statement shared with The Athletic after the news of its request for Division II sanctioning, the NWSL added an unmissable second factor: “The demand for professional soccer has never been higher.”

Long touted as the “sport of the future,” the organizers of professional soccer have viewed the past decade (and the half-decade to come) as their optimal growth window. The men’s World Cup will come stateside next summer; the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and the 2031 Women’s World Cup extend the window of major global tournaments at home, fueling investors’ interest in launching clubs, leagues and events like The Soccer Tournament.

What the NWSL has proposed is a minor league, but there’s room for argument that the space needs a proper lower division. NWSL leaving the door open for unaffiliated teams to join in the future is evidence of that. However, wanting to launch lower-division soccer leagues is one thing; curating them to endure with genuine stability is a far more difficult venture.

When the USL announced its intention to launch a professional women’s league after previously launching the amateur W-League, it seemed like a clear solution to launching lower-division women’s soccer. The USL had established itself in the men’s landscape, even recognizing the first player’s union for lower-league soccer players.

Instead, the USL launched the Super League with first-division sanctioning requirements, citing a desire to operate at the highest baseline standard possible. It also complicated how to contextualize its launch: was this a rival league for the NWSL or a developmental platform independent from it?

USL launched the Super League in 2024 as a Division I league. (USL Super League)

The USL Super League is nearing the end of its inaugural regular season, with the playoff semifinals on June 7 and a final on June 14. The Carolina Ascent has been the clear initial power, topping the league table as well as the attendance rankings with an average home draw of 3,859, including a high mark of 10,553 for the inaugural match.

But leagues aren’t cheap. Nor are the individual clubs.

Scouring the USL’s publicly available Franchise Disclosure Documents, Colton Coreschi reported on the Super League clubs’ first-year financial expenditure for Backheeled. Per his reporting, the expansion fee to join the Super League stands at $10 million — five times the fee paid by Angel City, the San Diego Wave and the Utah Royals to join NWSL, per Sportico. Player expenses (including salaries, insurance and housing) range from $732,000 to $1.8 million annually per club. Coaches add another $175,000 to $350,000 onto the ledger, while facilities are even more expensive to secure: $725,000 to $2.3 million.

Tack on travel and off-field costs like front-office staff, broadcasts, supplies and annual dues, and the range of estimated operational expenses per year goes from $3.4 million to $7.7 million on top of the one-time $10 million expansion fee. It’s an expensive pursuit to execute well, and one that isn’t for the faint of heart.

While the women’s soccer pyramid is still burgeoning, the men’s leagues provide a cautionary tale.

After the (second) NASL ceased operation in 2017, the USL on the men’s side had brief but total command over the second and third-division levels. Its flagship rebranded as the USL Championship in 2019, the same year it launched a new circuit, USL League One, to fill the void left in the third-division tier.

Around the same time, U.S. Soccer also granted third-division sanctioning to the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA). That league never really gained a foothold with frequent backroom reorganization, its stable of clubs varying greatly each season and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nevertheless, its launch sent a message: U.S. Soccer would grant (non-provisional) sanctioning within the same tier of its pyramid to multiple leagues, so long as their proposal was sound. MLS soon followed, launching Next Pro as a Division III league to house its affiliate (not reserve, per league guidance) clubs in 2022.

The disjointed competition has left a myriad of Division III men’s leagues looking for meaning. While USL League One is in its seventh season and expanding, NISA is on a partial hiatus and Next Pro is largely an MLS developmental league with only a small portion of its clubs being independent. Some MLS teams still send their top prospects who need more training on loans to USL clubs in the Championship and League One.

Somehow, this doesn’t quite feel like the utopian ideal that the “sport of the future” promised. Still, there’s a promise of future payoff, especially in women’s soccer.

But dedicated support from fans requires more than proximity and abundance. It requires operational stability at the club and league levels: enough time for memories, often emotional, to occur. There has yet to be an investment or strategy in the lower-division landscape to produce despite recent efforts.

NWSL’s Division II proposal is up against WPSL Pro, another league that announced its intentions to apply for Division II status last week. For those keeping track, that’s two Division I leagues, two Division II, no Division III and multiple amateur offerings.

(As a related aside: if the NCAA extends the college soccer season, it could leave well over a hundred amateur soccer clubs that play in the summer, in leagues like the USL W-League and modern WPSL, needing to decide if they can scale up and go professional or if they’ll struggle to contend.)

WPSL Pro shared a design of where they think they fit in the pyramid before NWSL’s Division II bid became public. (WPSL Pro)

It’s a conundrum of U.S. Soccer’s own creation by opening the landscape like a marketplace instead of working to ensure a coherent structure — a far more Darwinistic method of curation than the launches of MLS and the NWSL. It leaves the act of bringing more soccer to the country feeling more like a pure investment with an eye on profit, the one-time sport of the future now promising a growth opportunity, rather than creating community assets. If a player or coach happens to benefit from the league and go on to do great things, it’s a bonus rather than proof of concept.

Launch events are cool, but they aren’t the ultimate aim. The first league that can coherently prove that being a second-division market should be a badge of honor with grassroots appeal and not a consolation prize for missing out on the NWSL will be the real breakthrough in the women’s landscape.

Seemingly, that isn’t the intention for the USL Super League, and the NWSL’s plan leans heavily on reserve teams that are unlikely to garner rabid followings in the senior team’s backyards. Maybe the WPSL is best positioned to fill that void with its own independent circuit, and can form a critical mass of sports-mad cities like Cleveland that’ll create unique and intimate atmospheres that make them a draw to fans and neutrals alike.

But even within the leagues that are trying to fill the void now, not every team is built to last.

Over the last eight seasons, 26 independent lower-division men’s clubs in the prominent leagues have folded or relocated, leaving their local fans with a void. These include three from the NASL, 11 from the USL Championship, four from USL League One, seven from NISA, and one from MLS Next Pro. Even in this golden age of American soccer, where interest has never been higher, at least three lower-league markets — in locals as notable as Saint Louis and San Francisco, and even those storied New York Cosmos — lose their hometown team each winter.

Even with the cautionary tales, a noble and overdue pursuit is at the heart of this all. Forming lower-league structures in both the women’s and men’s landscape is worth fighting for with three undeniable drivers: player development, staff development and giving a greater number of communities a team to fall in love with, even if they aren’t at an NWSL scale or standard.

College was that developmental launchpad for a long time, but as USL Super League president Amanda Vandervort told The Athletic before the league’s launch last summer: “There’s a delta (of opportunities) there that needs to be filled — because if we don’t, we’re going to fall behind.”

Short-term opportunities can only help so much. A unified push with a coherent plan to set clubs up for success would make this even more impactful. Players and staff need to know where to best evolve, while fans need to trust that their team is here to stay. We’ll see if they can find it.

Male NCAA gymnast gives insane take on Simone Biles vs. men

An NCAA gymnast launched himself into the debate about male athletes in women’s sports following Olympian Simone Biles’ remarks about activist Riley Gaines.

Samuel Phillips, a gymnast at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, weighed in on Biles’ remarks after she called Gaines a “sore loser” for losing to a man (Lia Thomas) and “truly sick” for campaigning against the inclusion of men in women’s sports.

Phillips not only piled on and threw more insults at Gaines, but he also made a bold claim about how Biles would fair in competitions against men.

‘She would actually STEAL GOLDS from LOTS of the best Male floor and vault workers.’

“This whole fight between Riley and Simone is NULL & VOID because the basis of the right’s attack is that she would lose medals in the men’s gym category,” Phillips wrote on X. “When in reality, she would actually STEAL GOLDS from LOTS of the best Male floor and vault workers. So their base is FLAWED.”

Blaze News reached out to Jennifer Sey, a seven-time U.S. women’s national artistic gymnast, to ask for her thoughts on how Biles would perform against men.

“I think it speaks more so to the fact that women’s gymnastics has changed. It’s about power not grace and flexibility,” Sey replied.

RELATED: She’s never had to compete against a man’: Female athletes respond to Simone Biles’ pro-trans rant

The XX-XY Clothing founder told Blaze News that now that men’s and women’s gymnastics are less differentiated than before, men would be “much more likely to be able to compete in women’s and win.”

Sey added, “What Phillips states is unknowable, but he’s not wrong that Simone’s skill level is otherworldly. That doesn’t change the fact that men are stronger and more powerful overall, and if men entered women’s gymnastics, they would displace women from medals and team spots.”

Following his remarks about how well Gaines would do against men, Phillips launched his own attacks at Gaines on X, as well.

“Also Null and Void because Riley G.B. is in fact an evil spirited, loser mentality, unreliable, misinformed, hateful person.”

Phillips then turned off replies to his remarks, while lashing out at Republicans on X.

“Muting the replies because every Maga cult member who comments on this has Baseless Arguments so elementary and rooted in fear. Nothing to debate about. You’re just here to fight and insight [sic] violence. Goodbye.”

Although Biles issued an apology to Gaines, and Phillips shared it, he did not issue an apology or retraction of his own.

RELATED: Simone Biles apologizes to Riley Gaines for ‘personal’ attack but still falls short of admitting the obvious

In response to Biles’ apology, Gaines said that while she accepted it, she thought some of the gymnast’s ideas were “nonsensical.”

Gaines welcomed Biles to fight alongside her in the fight to “support fair sports.”

Biles has not issued anymore public comments, and her press team has not responded to multiple requests for comment from Blaze News.

Daniel Park is in his first season as Oklahoma State’s associate head coach after successful stints at Houston (2021-25) and UTSA (2018-21).

Head coach Annie Young announced the hire on June 11, 2025, stating:

“I am thrilled to have Daniel join our coaching staff. He is one of the best in the business. We’re excited to have him and his family in Stillwater.”

Park spent a portion of his summer working with some of the world’s best men’s and women’s collegiate golfers at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup, a Ryder Cup-style competition played at Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, S.C. He served as an assistant coach for Team International, which outscored the United States, 35-25, to claim its first win since 2022 and first on U.S. soil since 2020.

At Houston (2021-25):

Park helped coach the Cougars to three NCAA Regional appearances in four years under head coach Lydia Lasprilla. During his tenure, the team racked up four tournament titles along with the two highest postseason finishes in program history. The 2025 Cougars placed sixth at the Columbus Regional (just three strokes shy of an NCAA Championship berth) after tying for sixth at the 2024 Auburn Regional (two strokes back).

Five of Park’s Cougars earned all-conference honors and two more made the Big 12’s all-tournament team. UH student-athletes also excelled off the course, combining for 15 conference all-academic honors and nine WGCA All-American Scholar Athlete nods.

Park was promoted to associate head coach ahead of the 2024-25 season, during which the Cougars tied a school record with three team titles and finished 27th in the final Scoreboard by Clippd national team rankings. In addition, junior Moa Svedenskiold was a two-time medalist and advanced to the NCAA Championship as an individual.

In 2023-24, Park helped Houston make a successful leap from the American Athletic Conference to the Big 12. Svedenskiold became the program’s first All-Big 12 recipient and set a new single-season school record for stroke average (71.47).

The Cougars opened their season with the third-lowest 54-hole tournament total in NCAA history (-48, 816) at the Sam Golden Invitational, helped by a school record 268 (-20) in the final round, and a brilliant debut from freshman Ellen Yates, who fired a 14-under, 202 to finish atop the leaderboard.

A trio of Houston freshmen enjoyed similar success in 2022-23 helping the Cougars return to the NCAA Regionals for the first time since 2021. Svedenskiold became the first Houston rookie to win a tournament title, capturing medalist honors at the Jim West Challenge, and later landed on the American Athletic Conference’s all-league team. Fellow freshman Natalie Saint Germain tied the school’s low-18 record with a 64 in the Final Round of the Schooner Fall Classic.

In Park’s debut season (2021-22), the Cougars played some of their best golf by season’s end, finishing runner-up at the AAC Championship in Pinehurst, N.C. Three Cougars earned all-conference honors — Nicole Abelar, Maria Jose Martinez and Annie Kim – with Kim landing a spot in the NCAA Franklin Regional field.

At UTSA (2018-21):

Prior to Houston, Park spent three seasons at the University of Texas at San Antonio working with head coach Summer Batiste. The pair led the Roadrunners to five tournament titles, including the 2019 Conference USA crown, as well as two NCAA Regional appearances.

Park coached four different UTSA golfers to all-conference honors, including 2019 CUSA medalist Ana Gonzalez.

The Roadrunners also performed well in the classroom under his watch, earning 16 CUSA Commissioner’s Honor Roll spots, four CUSA Commissioner’s Academic Medals and one WGCA All-American Scholar nod. The program twice earned NCAA Public Recognition Awards after posting perfect Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in 2019 and 2020.

UTSA earned only the second at-large berth in program history in 2021 and went on to secure a 13^th place finish at the Louisville Regional.

The 2020 squad was on a similar trajectory, winning two of its last three tournaments before the season was shut down in mid-March by COVID-19.

During the pandemic, Park used his downtime to complete Level 2 certification from the Titleist Performance Institute.

In 2018-19, Park helped lead UTSA to three team titles, highlighted by a 12-stroke win at the CUSA Championship. The Roadrunners set the program’s 54-hole record with a 10-under, 854 to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Norman Regional.

In Auburn, Ala. (2015-17):

Park came to San Antonio from Auburn, Ala., where he held dual roles as marketing and tournament director for the Southeastern Junior Golf Tour and as a golf coach at Auburn High School.

Park also served as a tournament services intern with Global Golf Management in Opelika, Ala., where he helped promote event opportunities and assisted with general operations during PGA Tour’s 2017 Barbasol Championship.

As a Student-Athlete:

A former standout collegiate golfer for Alabama State, Park helped lead the Hornets to three consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference championships from 2013-15. As a senior, he earned First Team All-SWAC honors and was a Cleveland/Srixon All-American Scholar.

Education:

Park graduated summa cum laude from Alabama State with a 3.94 GPA while majoring in communications and minoring in finance. He was a President’s Award recipient and made the Dean’s Honor Roll in every year of college.

From 2015-17, Park worked as a public speaking instructor with Auburn University’s Communications Department while completing his master’s degree in communication.

Personal:

Park is a native of Kendall, England. He and his wife, Shanon, were married in 2017 and have a son, Lucas David, born in May 2024.

SAINT CLOUD — The Huskies’ den is getting an upgrade.

The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center is receiving $12.9 million from a bonding bill passed by the Minnesota Legislature on Tuesday, June 10 in a special session. The $700 million package addresses statewide projects using money from a state bond and general fund bill. Aside from the historic Herb, some of the infrastructure projects are in water systems, transportation and housing.

St. Cloud representative Dan Wolgamott (DFL-14B) advocated for the funding as co-chair of the house higher education committee.

“I’m proud of all we accomplished for St. Cloud during the most bipartisan session in Minnesota House history,” Wolgamott said in a statement. “Our key achievements will get more police officers on our streets, tackle the healthcare workforce shortages, attract and incentivize developers to downtown St. Cloud, and provide much-needed renovations to the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.”

St. Cloud Technical and Community College also received $1.3 million in infrastructure funding as part of the bonding package, passed the same day as the remainder of the state budget.

The SCSU athletic department will release a statement on its plans for the investment by the end of the week, according to athletics communications director Andrew Melroe.

The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center was built in 1989 to facilitate the SCSU men’s and women’s teams’ move to NCAA Division I. It now hosts the Huskies, the Division III St. John’s University Johnnies, youth teams and community events. Last summer, it hosted then-presidential candidate Donald Trump for a rally that sat an estimated 8,000 people.

“I think that it’s a humongous victory not just for Husky hockey, not just for St Cloud State University, not just for downtown St Cloud, but for our whole community (considering) the economic benefits that the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center provides for our local economy,” Wolgamott said in an interview.

For several years, St. Cloud State officials have campaigned for state funding to upgrade the original refrigerant system for its two ice sheets from R-22, which has been outlawed for its damage to the ozone in the atmosphere. The Municipal Athletic Complex is upgrading its system to ammonia this summer, part of a $16 million project that includes roof work, new locker rooms and more training and mechanical space.

One difference between the sheets at the MAC and the National Hockey Center is the size of the ice — SCSU plays on the larger Olympic rink compared to NHL dimensions. Most teams, including all of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, play on the smaller ice. Two rinks in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association are bigger than NHL and smaller than Olympic.

The arena had been upgraded recently. Before last season, the video boards and sound system were upgraded thanks to $1.3 million in gifts. In 2019, the school added a new workout room connected to the nearly $20 million addition in 2013 that built a new atrium, suites and locker rooms.

Female athletes appeal NCAA settlement arguing it violates Title IX

An attorney representing the athletes said in a statement that the settlement violates Title IX, the federal law that bans sex-based discrimination in education.

Eight female athletes filed an appeal Wednesday of a landmark NCAA antitrust settlement, arguing that women would not receive their fair share of $2.7 billion in back pay for athletes who were barred from making money off their name, image and likeness.

U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken approved the settlement last week, clearing the way for direct payments from universities to athletes and the end of the NCAA’s amateurism model.

The athletes who appealed the settlement competed in soccer, volleyball and track. They are: Kacie Breeding of Vanderbilt; Lexi Drumm, Emma Appleman, Emmie Wannemacher, Riley Hass, Savannah Baron and Elizabeth Arnold of the College of Charleston; and Kate Johnson of Virginia. They have standing to appeal because they previously filed objections to the proposed settlement.

Ashlyn Hare, one of the attorneys representing the athletes, said in a statement that the settlement violates Title IX, the federal law that bans sex-based discrimination in education.

“We support a settlement of the case, but not an inaccurate one that violates federal law. The calculation of past damages is based on an error that ignores Title IX and deprives female athletes of $1.1 billion,” Hare said. “Paying out the money as proposed would be a massive error that would cause irreparable harm to women’s sports.”

The House settlement figures to financially benefit football and basketball stars at the biggest schools, who are likely to receive a big chunk of the $20.5 million per year that colleges are permitted to share with athletes over the next year. Some athletes in other sports that don’t make money for their schools could lose their partial scholarships or see their roster spots cut.

“This is a football and basketball damages settlement with no real benefit to female athletes,” Hare said. “Congress has expressly rejected efforts to exempt revenue-generating sports like football and basketball from Title IX’s antidiscrimination mandate. The NCAA agreed with us. Our argument on appeal is the exact same argument the conferences and NCAA made prior to settling the case.”

The appeal was filed by the law firm Hutchinson Black and Cook of Boulder, Colorado, and was first reported by Front Office Sports. It would be heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
