James Keston: It is simple. It is a pool of funds that can help offset the costs of attending college.

For example, If Aaron Cervantes or another of our youth players who have signed a USL pro contract with Orange County SC decides that being a professional soccer player is no longer his dream, or for whatever reason, the coaches chose not to renew a player’s contract, the player would have funds put aside to be able to go to college.
 
While not exactly revolutionary. This has/is being done with the current Generation Adidas and the former Nike 40 plan. It does, nonetheless, show what a competitive disadvantage the USL is at when it has to compete for players against colleges.
