NSC Minnesota - 2010
USSF Second Division |
| Before the season, a group of teams broke away trying to start a new league (NASL). A brokering effort by USSF resulted in a split decision, with USSF Administering a USL/NASL season of 6 teams each. The 2010 season consisted of two Conferences, the USL Conference and the NASL Conference. |
