The NBA didn’t create the WNBA as a charity case or for the good PR. The WNBA gets more women interested in basketball which brings more viewers to the NBA and makes them more money.

Read that Boston, the #1 draft pick from S. Carolina, signed for a whopping $75K. Which is why the Bayou Barbie has said that she is "no rush" to go to the WNBA. An unnamed WNBA main office staffer has reportedly complained that the league does not get the support they expect from females. Rather, data reveals that the average regular fan is a white male of varying age. But, FWIW, LSU & most major female programs use college males to practice against; i.e. it's a common practice. No clue as to how they are paid but assuming they are.

The wnba is a joke. The draft is just for publicity (or lack there of) because why have 36 player draft and only about 10 of those players at the most make teams?


That’s dumb

Yeah but there was a thread a couple days ago on the MSB about a player that said they needed more teams for that exact reason and people bitched about her saying that.

They aren’t paid at least at LSU and the rest of the NCAA probably does the same. You get some free gear though.

Then you wouldn't have this sham of drafting 36 players and then waiving 28 of them.


Why do they do this?

That's pretty funny actually.

12-team league. An average of 13 of the 36 drafted players over the last five years have been cut prior to the first game of the season.

You wonder if anyone is having a real discussion with these kids about expectations after college ball.

The WNBA would be better off just not existing because it makes zero money and then nobody gets waived, problem solved.
