The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Do MLS clubs themselves actually get the money yet? Or does it still go to MLS instead?

For homegrowns clubs get all the money, for anyone else the league still takes a 5% cut.

MLS Roster Rules Page posted:

Transfer and Loan Fees

The revenue share from transfers or loans for clubs is as follows:

  • A club shall receive 95% of the corresponding transfer or loan fee revenue from any transaction involving a player that is NOT a Homegrown Player or a U22 Initiative Slot Player.
  • If a Designated Player is transferred or loaned, the club will receive all amounts of the transfer or loan fee revenue until it has recouped all out-of-pocket cash payments made by the club in connection to that player prior to any sharing arrangement with the League. After such recoup, the club’s share of the revenue may be used to fund a club’s discretionary spend (e.g. player development costs, TAM Players, Designated Players, U22 Initiative Slot Player) or may be taken as cash and may not be taken as allocation.
  • A club shall receive 100% of the corresponding transfer or loan fee revenue from any transaction involving a Homegrown Player or a U22 Initiative Slot Player.

Usage of Revenue

The club's share of transfer or loan fee revenue may only be used as follows:

  • The club may assign up to $1,050,000 of the transfer/loan revenue as General Allocation Money. In the case of Designated Players, transfer/loan revenue may not be assigned as General Allocation Money. In the case of U22 Initiative Slot players, please refer to the section on U22 Initiative Roster Slots.
  • The remaining balance of the club's share (if any), and which cannot be traded, will be distributed by the League to the Club as cash.

tl;dr: KC will get all of that money since Busio is a Homegrown, $1M of which they can pump into their roster, the rest goes into the team's coffers.

Orlando has some new owners now. Majority owner is now the Wilf family, who own the Minnesota Vikings, almost torpedo'd Minnesota United's jump to MLS because they couldn't buy the team and did some pretty shady poo poo regarding the Vikings' new stadium (but what NFL owner hasn't?). There's also new minority owners the DeVos family. Yes, that DeVos family.

At least it's not Anthony Precourt :shrug:

Sac's biggest investor pulled out. unless they find another multi-millionaire to bail them out, they're dead in the water
i have to believe MLS is gonna copy NFL in having 32 teams and then lock it from there
honestly surprised Phoenix hasn't put a solid bid in yet and there's rumors every so often about Las Vegas

Sacramento is reportedly working hard to revamp the bid and last I read Guy Fieri is part of it.

God help me I don't care how loving big the discount is we NEED MLS to have Flavortown SC.

The idea is to funnel as much money as possible to MLS owners via new expansion franchise fees and more games to broadcast on tv.

Based on the number of MLS squads with USL teams, I'm going to say the relations between the two are just a teensy bit better than the ones between MLS and NASL.

Not anymore they're not.

MLS is making its own D3 league for next year, and every club with a II/B team is being pressured to join it eventually. So far there are four holdouts who say they are staying in the USL: Atlanta, LA Galaxy, NYRB, and I can't remember the fourth.

That's the fourth one. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Supposedly those four are annoyed about the whole MLS D3 thing because they'd rather have their young prospects in a proper league setup instead of whatever this MLS D3 league is going to be, which is more than likely going to be a glorified academy league.
