. . . clearly represents a very different level of financial commitment than the PSL or any other of the attempts to create a pro league over the last twenty years. The AUSL looks and feels like a pro league. It also has virtually every recognizable name in the game (almost all pitchers). I'm guessing the PSL leadership hopes that a couple of teams can latch onto an AUSL expansion. Certainly Atlanta should be a candidate. A team on Long Island might do well but it's not clear to me that the PSL Rise even has a roster. I love being able to watch these teams get the first-class media production they deserve. ** Edited by MidloHokie at 6/27/2026, 9:18:59 PM
