All the biggest female basketball players over the years were bigger when they were in college than the WNBA. I heard about Diana taurasi all the time when she played at UCONN but rarely heard her name again after going pro. People care more about women’s college basketball than the WNBA for whatever reason.

I'm sure they have their reason but it makes no sense to me looking from the outside why they'd leave when getting an extra year to play with. Angel said her sponsors would follow her but but if you can't get eyeballs then that will dry up quick.

Good players get drafted then thrown out like the trash before ever seeing the court. Then there is all the smoke about the mistreatment of straight women.

WBB is soaring right now and we all lose for CC and AR leaving.

because they have degrees from the schools and have an attachment and allegiance to the school programs they attended and are lifelong fans. Hell I even enjoy watching lsu and college football more than I enjoy watching the nfl.

WNBA is just amateur level men’s ball. They’d be destroyed by a decent high school boys team. Just like the USWNT were btfo by 15 yo’s. Not strange to me at all that college is more popular for wbb. I think there’s a professional softball league too but march madness and wcws will always beat out viewerships of those pro leagues for that reason.
