It was on ABC, and ESPN3

One of my female cousins who played and coached collegiate basketball posted this. I had no idea.

I didn't watch the men's or the women's game this year, travelling for women's game, would have watched otherwise, but I have watched more women's championship games in the last 5 years than men's. People get up early, that men's game doesn't start til 9 freaking 30. That is really late, I got 3 kids 10 and under, was asleep before it started. It should be on Saturday night.

End whine.

I mean the women's game was on ABC in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday. The men's was late Monday night on cable. They're begging the women to take the ratings. No idea why Turner thought taking the men away from CBS was a smart move.

The difference was 4 million viewers. If this happened a year ago the PAC would have the top women's programs to sell and maybe we would still be the PAC. Caitlin Clark did this and ESPN/ABC should bow down.

With Tara VanDerveer retiring I'm not sure how much marquee the Standard women will still have. Can't blame her as this is the perfect time to go.

I see even Biden is getting involved with her WNBA salary. And like I keep saying, that's just peanuts compared to her endorsement deals.

The problem is the WNBA doesn't make money like the NBA. There isn't even close to as much demand. Although Caitlin Clark may help change that. If you want the women to make more, they will need to be subsidized right now.

For anyone wondering, that’s a parody feed that makes up “funny” quotes from golfers.

The Las Vegas Aces have sold out their entire upcoming season already. They play in an arena that seats about 8000 at Mandalay Bay. Some of their games have already been moved to T-Mobile Arena that seats about 18k. Would be cool if they sell out too.

Sure hoped that was called a foul.

Think she ended up with 20 points and 10 TOs.
