From The Court To The Pitch: Re-Envisioning European Soccer In College Basketball Terms

Rumors of a UEFA Super League have become increasingly prevalent in recent times as larger clubs look for ways to earn a buck any way they can. An official announcement of a Super League even came earlier this year before being trounced by fans across the continent.
