Over the years I haven’t loved some of the WNBA arguments for higher pay but now it’s pretty simple. If the Vegas Aces sell for $2m in 2021 and are supposedly worth $290-$310m now, why would you expect the players to receive just 9% of the revenue? The Valkyries expansion fee was $50m two years ago. Today expansion cost is $250m.
In what other profession would someone as valuable as Caitlin Clark make only $78k?
