Easy solution to WNBA attendance issue...

[DavidinNaples]

Here is some free advice for the WNBA to solve their lack of attendance and visibility. Henceforth, all UConn players will be on the same team, located in Connecticut. That's right, the Sun roster will have 12 UConn players of their choice.

In addition, the Indiana franchise will have 12 Notre Dame players (or however many are in the WNBA). All other franchises draft, trade and sign the way they always have in the past.

The UConn vs Notre Dame game in Tampa in April drew 20,062 people and a national TV audience. What does a typical Indiana vs Connecticut WNBA game draw? Imagine the outrage and news coverage of this incredibly unfair move by the WNBA to favor UConn the way USA basketball does..!! The sports talk shows would go nuts. UConn fans would sell out WNBA games.

Imagine the above group plus Nurse, Collier, Hartley, Tiff, Gabby, Azura, Renee, Kiah, Lou and/or Stef Dolson.

You're welcome WNBA.

There are enough UConn alum in the WNBA to form two teams. Sun and Liberty?

Or you simply recruit Katie Perry and Ariana Grande and others like them to attend games, making it a feminist cause because it is.

The ABL had a territorial draft.
Hence JRizz KaraW Berube were on the Blizzard

I wonder how many WNBA players today have a higher salary than Wolters had then?

With all the UCONN players on one team the W would be missing out on a tremendous source of income because the best games in the WNBA might be during the Sun's practices.
