Message: [QUOTE="Beemer, post: 4308396, member: 5218"] W/r/t WNBA CBA- like the CBAs in the rest of professional sports, it benefits the veteran star players over rookie unknown players. That will never change. I loved Breanna Stewart when she was a Husky but IMO she needs a lesson in economics- without vastly increased revenue from ticket sales and especially media contracts there simply is not enough money for teams to spend more on player contracts. If the WNBA ever generates revenues on the level the NBA does then you'll see it reflected in the CBA and individual player contracts but not one second before that happens, if ever. The same applies for expansion. There is a lot of talk about how the WNBA "needs" to expand but that simply is not going to happen until investors are sure that the league is a wise place to put their money- IOW that they will make some $ out of it. There simply are not enough investors out there interested in women's basketball that are willing to buy a team as a "toy" that can be profitable or not. [/QUOTE]
