What else are they going to air this time of year? They don't have rights fees to Men's tournament, MLB does not start yet, no NFL etc. I am sure it does better than SC reruns



I honestly find it hard to believe this is the absolute best they can do. Even during summer I remember ESPN showing a bunch of the WNBA when there are plenty of baseball games on. I know a lot of it is related to league contracts, but I'm not sure which party benefits from limiting the games shown on ESPN.

I gaurantee you college baseball shown on the big ESPN would get better ratings than WBB.

WNBA is subsidized by the NBA. Maybe the NBA told ESPN if they want to broadcast NBA games you have to broadcast a certain number of WNBA games...
