I guess not, because 5 more teams are coming in the next 5 years. Toronto and Portland next year, Cleveland in 2028, Detroit in 2029 and Philly in 2030. If some teams were really that far in the hole, you'd think they'd try relocating over further expansion. The league's Wikipedia article also suggests there might be some creative accounting going on to make the teams / league seem less profitable than they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_National_Basketball_Association#Finance The Green Bay Packers might be the only North American pro sports franchise where you have a chance to trust their financial reporting. dhampire1 posted... So the players expecting to be paid what major nba players get is ridiculous. They don't want to be paid what NBA players are paid. They want the same revenue split the NBA players get. So roughly 50/50 between league and players compared to the 80/20 to 90/10 they currently get.
