A community-built timeline of events occurring prior to – and in the aftermath of – the October announcement that Precourt Sports Ventures, LLC may move the Columbus Crew away from Columbus, Ohio. We hope this timeline, made of publicly available information, will make transparent the actions of Precourt Sports Ventures, LLC and Major League Soccer.
Any discussion of the MLS business model is incomplete without considering Soccer United Marketing (SUM). SUM may be the key to the continued growth and success of Major League Soccer, and positions the league and its Investor-Operators to reap maximum benefits from the growth of soccer in America.
