Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4686405, member: 11020"] Look, the WNBA does have some issues, but the biggest issue is there are too many really good college basketball players that can't get a job. The travel issues and others can wait. If some cities and potential owners want to put up the money for a franchise, what's the problem? The league will do their due diligence in investigating the owners group , the facilities, and the market. To me, expantion is the #1 priority to advance the league and provide employment for the many really good players to find a home. Its a shame when we follow and root for our favorite players in college, and then they fall off the map because of nowhere to play. More and more people are watching the league, and more and more people will become fans just by having a team within their geographic area that they can idenify with. Looking back, I was so ecstatic when the Orlando franchise moved to Connecticut. The Sun have fans throughout New England, and I am thrilled to watch in person players that I have followed at UConn, and at the same time, getting to root for players that were once "enemies" by our college team. Expansion, the #1 priority of the WNBA, no question. [/QUOTE]
