Domer Matt Besler '09 Opts To Play at Home!
Former Notre Dame All-American and US National Team member Matt Besler shocked the world soccer community by turning down "more money to play in Europe" -- when he signed a four-year guaranteed contract this week with his hometown MLS team -- Sporting Kansas City.
Besler's deal is worth $2.8 million -- congratulations Matt!
