ASN Morning Read: Rules and Regulations
Major League Soccer finally gets some guidelines to govern the 2015 season. Is your favorite player on the allocation order list? Excitement abounds. Stuart Holden has some deep thoughts.
- "Nearly two months after the start of its regular season, Major League Soccer on Friday afternoon unveiled its roster rules and regulations for the 2015 campaign, which was saved by a last-minute collective bargaining agreement. That CBA still hasn’t been ratified by the MLS Players Union membership, but the league is moving ahead based upon the terms reached in early March. MLS executive VP of player relations and competition Todd Durbin said the league had been operating under the old rules until Friday, even though each of the 20 clubs was in compliance on opening day. The new regulations governing player discovery and allocation entered effect Friday."

If a decade ago you'd told me the MLS salary cap would be just $3.49 million per team in 2015, I would have said you were crazy. But it is.
