And why there is a new TV deal starting next year at $200 million per year.

And this is with ESPN trying to bury the WNBA for years!
What many don’t know is that when the W started, games were on NBC, Lifetime, local, and many arenas were full. Then the MNBA side of things decided women weren’t worth the effort of promoting or negotiating good tv deals anymore.

This weekend the WNBA Stars told the NBA/WNBA to "Pay Us What You Owe Us!"
Today I calculated what that means. Given what we know about future revenues, average pay should be $1.5 MILLION!
Not $120,000!
