Caitlin Clark went No. 1 overall at last night's WNBA Draft. And of course she'll make millions in endorsement deals, but here's her real salary as a player...

Well, that's a shame, but with the popularity of some of these new girls going into the league that may eventually change a bit. Those college eyeballs may follow them this time to the WNBA and soon may turn a profit.

Why is that a shame? There is no revenue to pay them more. The NBA supports the WNBA financially. As a business owner, if you have a product that is consumed in low volume, you dont make as much as the store down the street that has the product everyone wants.

That's why I said IF their college eyeballs follow them. It would mean more ticket sales and more fans watching on TV. The network can charge more to advertisers and the league can ask for more money from the network, while the players get a small rev share plus NBA subsidies. More money floats all boats.

Frankly, WNBA players making a single dollar are still over paid. The WNBA loses money. The only reason it even exists is for BS diversity and inclusion feel good reasons. It is a shitty product with zero following,

Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, etc. will lose their following over time, not because they are not great players, but because the WNBA is a joke.

Wow, I had no idea they got paid that much? Does that Griner dude from Baylor still play in the WNBA or did his criminal episode in Russia cause the WNBA to release him?

If they paid players what people think they are worth vs what they actually bring in the league would have folded numerous years ago.

You’re not making any sense right now. Nobody except their moms and some feminists who haven't watched a lick of this garbage think they’re worth big money

Is that big money for that activity? If that’s top pay how can the lower group afford to participate.

It is a league subsidized by the NBA to attract more female fans to the game in general. It is nothing but a marketing ploy like billboards and cheerleaders.

Ironically the largest WNBA demographic is middle aged men who like fundamental basketball.

It’s only shocking until you realize the WNBA as a whole loses about $10 million a year every year. She’s lucky they’re able to pay her at all.

Technically the WNBA doesn't pay them... they are subsidized by the NBA. But you are right, she is lucky to be get paid what she is getting paid.

She should have taken Ice Cubes $5 million. The WNBA is counting on this crop of women's college basketball stars to bring their tv ratings with them. But no one cares about the WNBA. They care about their schools. They may get some to follow Clark, Reese, etc., but it won't be enough to effect any major changes in tv deals. I'd like to see them make more, but the economics are not there.
