Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3182495, member: 26"] It's a catch-22. The WNBA barely makes money, or loses money. In that scenario, no investor is going to want to buy teams that lose $, and therefore, salaries can't increase. NBA players (and NFL and MLB etc) are paid tens of millions of $ each year because the investors/owners can afford it. The NBA in general makes billions of $. So until the WNBA league grows enough to be profitable, until they can charge $50-100 per seat, and fill 16,000 arenas, etc etc., the salaries will not change. Can't pay players with $ you don't have. [/QUOTE]
