Topic Do you think the WNBA will do anything to capitalize on the NCAAW momentum?

Most watched WNBA game ever had ~900k average viewers with 1.3M peak (game 4 of last year's finals).
Last nights Iowa vs South Carolina game had 18.6M average viewers with 24M peak.
The 2024 WNBA draft is looking like the equivalent of the 84/96/03 NBA drafts where half of the first round is full of "any other year they are a #1 pick" type players.
Clark and Reese are likely the biggest women's basketball rivalry ever, and they've played each other twice.
Next year Paige Bueckers will be coming and she's pretty and good.

I hope they get to the point they can sustain themselves.

That being said, I just couldn't get into it before I bailed on basketball completely.

It's like XFL. It's not the top tier.

MMA seems better off though. I don't care if I'm watching a man or woman.

I watched a bit of it on the app (it was free, not even registration.needed, which was surprising but nice) the other day, preseason game Fever against Atlanta

And i gotta say the standard of play has improved A LOT since the early WNBA days (i remember watching that inaugural season…didn’t watch too much since tbh)
i was pretty impressed
