Message: [QUOTE="ThisJustIn, post: 3499640, member: 382"] It's interesting to consider how much the NBA underwrites the W and how much they underwrite losing men's franchises. Obviously men's teams are more important that women's teams. The NBA is likelier to pull underwriting for the league (might want to double check how many are independently owned) than thy are to pull funding for other teams that lose more that the WNBA costs. That being said - don't see the league season starting in May. Now with the Olympics being canceled, the big break in the season could be eliminated. Shorter season is possible. Haven't really heard what's happening re: international pro leagues - men's or women's. The virus could put a huge dent in international pay checks. No pros, not as much incentive within the college ranks. It's all bad, at the moment. [/QUOTE]
