The National Women's Soccer League's 11th regular season kicks off this weekend, and progress appears to be prevalent at every turn. Expansion interest and fees are booming, new media partners make the league more accessible than ever, and clubs are paying world-record transfer fees for players.
Growth is hardly ever linear, however, and in the NWSL's case, the collective doesn't entirely represent the individual clubs. The NWSL, like many leagues, has long had a clear division between the teams that are haves and have-nots.
