Summary
Morning Kickaround is getting off to a strong start this week with some details on the long awaited USL collective bargaining agreement. The USL Championship and Premier leagues will be getting a minimum salary hike, health insurance, and more benefits in an agreement that will last until 2030. Robert and Jason break it all down. We also have a badge explainer for Cleveland’s first professional women’s team and those are always a joy to take a look at. Darius Barnes, the president of AC Grand Rapids, comes on the show to highlight West Michigan’s MLS Next Pro expansion club, their wonderful new stadium, and the future for MLS .
