Tampa Bay Rowdies News Release
The Team Owners Association announces an acceleration in its pursuit of all league options for the 2010 season.
After extensive negations with USISL Inc., the parent company of the United Soccer Leagues (USL), to restructure the USL First Division (USL-1) into a league owned and controlled by its teams, the TOA (led by Atlanta, Carolina, Miami, Minnesota, Montreal, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Vancouver) reached the decision following the announcement by Nike, Inc., the parent company of USISL, Inc., that it had concluded the sale of USL to a third-party (NuRock Soccer Holdings), which does not own a team in USL-1.
