Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3566805, member: 7874"] Why do NBA fans attend games and watch broadcast games? Why do WNBA fans attend games and watch broadcast games? Are these two answers materially different? Would diluting the talent pool through expansion have any effect? Would the talent pool be diluted? What percentage of players drafted every year prior to this year make a roster? I wonder how many of these decisions are tough because the talent is there but the opening and/or money is not. Perhaps some day someone will determine how to create/attract a large profitable fan base for games, broadcasts, and merchandise. It would be interesting to converse with Cathy Engelbert. She must have believed she had some germ of a concept to make the WNBA successful. I doubt being another failed commissioner ever entered her mind. She had been a very successful businesswoman in a tough business. This will be an interesting case study. [/QUOTE]
