So let's set a salary cap that is percentage of profits

So that they can pay the WNBA for the privilage to play. The WNBA would not even exist if the NBA had not been subsidizing it..... that may change and then so will her salary.

Why the WNBA is a joke! Katlin’s salary
hines495 • 04/17/24 08:14 PM ET
Actually your cause and effect are mixed up
Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 03:07 PM ET
If the NBA didn't subsidize WNBA then they would get paid nothing....

Isn't the WNBA season 4 months?**
AirborneHokie96 • 04/19/24 11:45 AM ET
Where do you suggest they get the money from?

What's a joke is how much women's basketball championship outviewed men's

Business decisions should not be made on the basis of one game

^correct. History of ratings, attendance, etc matters.**

Where do the teams get the money to pay more?**

WNBA annual revs are $200mm

$200 mil last year, $60 mil the year before
Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 03:09 PM ET
So $76,000 more than Iowa paid her.**
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:05 AM ET
She could have made tons more returning to Iowa BUT she has
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 06:51 AM ET
…but instead she’ll make “tons more” in WNBA w/her contract/endorsement
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:35 AM ET
Yes. She's poised to impact the WNBA the way Magic + Bird did the NBA.
Long-Lost Hokie • 04/18/24 11:54 AM ET
Who will be her......
2hhoop3 • 04/18/24 12:01 PM ET
Not sure she needs one. That said, Chicago just got two top-ten picks...
Long-Lost Hokie • 04/18/24 12:16 PM ET
Yeah...it's not a direct comparison of say just two players....
vthokieq • 04/18/24 12:22 PM ET
Agreed.**
Long-Lost Hokie • 04/18/24 12:25 PM ET
You think the endorsement deals would not have happened? Fox Sports was in

Fact is you don’t know that and if you had read my post or anyone else’s
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:57 AM ET
Money absolutely would be there whether she played another year at
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:06 PM ET
But you keep ignoring the fact she wasn't taking collective bags...
vthokieq • 04/18/24 12:14 PM ET
No..I acknowledged that she wasn't using the collectives. FACT remains
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:20 PM ET
The fact is, you know none of this to be true. Your posts are based on
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 12:31 PM ET
Lol ! You think WNBA $'s alone are more than she would have made at Iowa?
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:35 PM ET
You keep saying she would’ve made more $ returning to Iowa. I don’t
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 12:44 PM ET
No...you seem to have a comprehension issue. Such as portal players make

Good one. That adds a lot of value to the discussion on the boards, but you
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 01:02 PM ET
Yeah. No. You might want to rethink that…**
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:22 AM ET
How so...all those endorsements are going with her?
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:07 AM ET
VT needs to do more national marketing. Whether that's Triumph or whoever.
VANESSAHOKIE • 04/18/24 11:46 AM ET
That would be more on Triumph...and yeah, see below...
vthokieq • 04/18/24 11:52 AM ET
She would have made more via NIL than her WNBA salary. **
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 08:10 AM ET
and she'll make more in endorsements than she made in NIL
Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 03:10 PM ET
Ok....it's clear you didn't read my post. **
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:11 AM ET
I did. A link attached. Amoore will make more $ by going to Kentucky and
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 08:15 AM ET
🤦🏻‍♂️…so she makes the same or more in endorsements + her WNBA salary.
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:25 AM ET
Her endorsement deals are her NIL.
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:20 AM ET
Yes correct. Clark just signed $10 mil endorsement with Nike. Most of her

Don’t disagree, but that’s a different issue altogether.

She didn't take $ from the collective. If she wanted to, then she would
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 08:32 AM ET
You keep posting things like this about Clark. I think she’ll be fine and
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:30 AM ET
Why would you think I suggested her marketability would decrease?
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 11:55 AM ET
I'm fully aware of all of that.**
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:57 AM ET
Good. Original statement that she could have made more at Iowa stands**
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 09:02 AM ET
And my original statement that she'll make more in the WNBA...
vthokieq • 04/18/24 09:22 AM ET
We are both correct. She could have made more IF she took $ from

FWIW a similar gap exists for tennis (ATP vs. WTA) and golf (PGA vs. LPGA).

Bet the LPGA & WTA don't generate revenue/viewership like PGA, etc ...
