That’s not for the WNBA alone. That’s the NBA’s expected haul, split across multiple properties: NBA, WNBA, G League, Summer League, and NBA TV. The WNBA’s cut? Estimated $60–70M annually. A massive jump, sure, but not even close to what you're claiming. New Franchises at $250M? No WNBA team has sold for that amount. The most recent expansion team (Golden State) joined the league for a $50M fee. Your numbers are off by 5x. Sold-out Stadiums? A handful of games, thanks to Caitlin Clark, are sold out. But let’s not pretend the entire league is suddenly a hot ticket. Most arenas are still drawing under XXXXX fans on average. That’s not a league-wide boom. That’s a Caitlin Clark effect. Viewership vs. NBA? A single WNBA game slightly outdrawing an NBA Summer League game is not a flex. Regular season NBA games still dwarf WNBA viewership by millions. Merch and Sponsorships? All up... because of one player. But you can’t rewrite history: the WNBA has run at a loss for XX straight years, heavily subsidized by the NBA.
