If I could go back to college again, you'd find me in Professor Darin White's (@Sports_Biz_Prof) classes at @SamfordU.

He's teaching the next generation of soccer business professionals so they can grow the game in the U.S. and abroad.

He takes us through the grit he and his @RiverhoundsSC team had to have to hoist the @USLChampionship trophy.

One moment changed a lot for the @Chas_Battery in the late 2010s.

We can all agree that soccer in America needs more fans.

In the stands, watching on TV, wearing merch. You get it.

He joins us to break down how this week.
