As US Soccer's special "Professional League Task Force" lead by CEO and Secretary General Dan
Flynn, sorts through this debate of 2nd division league control, I thought it might be helpful for
everyone to go through the teams one by one as a guide. There have been many claims by
both sides as to the teams they have slated to play in 2010.
The Cleveland City Stars are no more. I'd heard rumors that they might move back down to USL-2, but
for some reason the league decided to pull the plug:
After months of negotiation and meetings, and in the midst of the conclusion of our
sale, the USL decided to terminate our franchise just prior to Thanksgiving.
Former Minnesota Thunder player Brian Pederson and his wife Stephanie will soon be leaving the
North Star State for the Lone Star State. Pederson is taking a new position with the Austin
Aztex.
On January 4, 2010, Pederson will start his new job as Director of Camps for the Aztex. Pederson
had a similar position as director of the Minnesota Thunder Academy (MTA) North.
