Top players can now earn over half a million bucks per season. The salary cap per team rises more than 30% from this season onwards. Maternity benefits. Better insurance.
So for all those claiming that the money wasn't there, that the league just wasn't popular enough, that the game just wouldn't sustain higher wages, well, management just answered with a resounding "yes we can!"
"The WNBA and the players union have come to tentative terms on a new collective bargaining agreement, which includes a significant salary bump for the league's highest-paid players, going from an annual base salary of $117,500 to $215,000."
Good for the players! And good for management for stepping up!!
