Players in the WNBA don't make millions.  I bet that the only two WNBA players that have made millions are Sue and Diana, when they were paid $$$$ in Moscow.  Many of them have to play overseas to complement the W's salaries.  Stewie is maxed out and making $200k next season, which is a far cry from any NBA player at her experience level.  Per an article from last year - [I]"in the 2019 season, the WNBA’s [B]maximum salary was $117,500, lower than the veteran’s minimum[/B] in the big four pro sports leagues in the U.S. But women’s basketball leagues overseas pay as much as 10 times that amount."[/I]

The sponsorships are starting to flow into the W (Bird - Corona, Stewie - Coke, KLS/Stewie/Skylar - Puma) however IMHO it will take years for it to get to a respectful level, albeit not close to the NBA.  Paige's NIL deals are probably worth more annually than most W players make.  College and pro worlds are so different, it depends on what each player wants - leave the security and structure of college and go pro, or go pro quicker to hopefully cash in on deals and contracts.
