So how does it work, you ask? The AUSL College Draft is an invitation-based process that identifies top collegiate seniors, confirms their readiness to turn professional, and introduces them to fans. The process prioritizes transparency with NCAA programs, strong general manager involvement, and a best-in-class athlete experience. 1: General Managers scout and evaluate players. 2: AUSL conducts university outreach for player interest, eligibility, and compliance checks. 3: A private draft is held, where GMs make their selections. 4: Selected athletes receive a Golden Ticket, officially notifying them of their draft status. 5: The AUSL Draft Show reveals team selections and draft order, airing May 4, 2026, on ESPN2.
