Thanks, nice to read it without irrelevant entries about other schools.

How much does a player usually get paid for being on a practice squad?

I used to work with Johnny Harline's brother and was told that the pay was only during the season but it worked out to about 75-80K / year.

WHAT? No way, I find that kinda hard to believe. If thats true... sucks for MLS players... Because even starters in the MLS average less than half that rate.
