To get that kind of television revenue the MLS needs to raise the level of play on the field and entice more American, Mexican and foreign stars (or even semi-stars). To do this the MLS needs to offer higher pay and develop new talent. Raiding various regions for young players would help though very few would probably jump at the chance of playing in the MLS, especially for a salary that I double.
Other leagues are getting well above 50% of the television money placed into the player salary pool while the MLS is less than 50%.
