Episode description
Dean, Sean and John are joined by "Soccernomics" author and University of Michigan professor Dr. Stefan Szymanski as well as Detroit City FC co-owner Todd Kropp to talk about the economics of DCFC, the NPSL, American soccer and sports in general.
(Warning: This interview contains what Sean described at the time as "one of the most productive promotion and relegation discussions ever to occur in the United States." Listen at your own risk.)
We also get an update on Keyworth investment from Todd and talk about NPSL realignment's implications for DCFC's 2016 schedule.
