2010 Generation Adidas Class

Twelve players make up the 2010 Generation adidas class, tied for most all time with the original class. Generation adidas is an incentive done by MLS to entice players in college (or even high school) to leave school early and sign with the league. The benefits for the players include a higher salary than most other draft picks as well as a guaranteed free tuition if they chose to return to school if professional soccer does not work out. The benefit for the teams is Generation adidas contracts don't count against the salary cap.
