I think she overestimates the nil opportunity for wnba. There are WAY more college women basketball fans than wnba fans. That nil will dry up quickly and people will forget her

She can also get some very nice contracts in Turkey, Poland, etc. The top players make 5-8x their WNBA salaries

The Griner fallout and Russia becoming a sports pariah clearly hurts the opportunities of female basketball pros though.

I think so too. I think this game against Iowa will be one of, if not the, highest rated games for women ever, pro or college. NIL is what it is because of the eyeballs on college players. Nobody watches the WNBA and I don't think viewers are going to follow players to the WNBA.
