And few people will watch
She has proven to bring eyeballs. Gotta give her that.

More people watched the womens title game than mens.

Granted, she may be a one-off, but I've certainly heard from people they'd tune in or even go to a game just to see her.

Clearly they need more than 1 player, but it's a good starting point for them. Think of MLS when Beckham joined or better yet, Messi. Might as well go all-in.

2.5 million viewers for last night's WNBA Draft. Previous record was 604 thousand in 2004.
 
Isn't the money to keep the league afloat coming from the NBA?
They do own half of the league and put in $15mm/yr apparently. Obviously they could decide to invest more if they wanted. As could the wnba owners.

I'd say had CC taken Ice Cube's deal, it would have rattled their model. As-is they haven't seen investing more as making sense.

I do think someone will put a bunch into marketing the next few years. If you're not going to go all-in on this opportunity, then you never will. We'll see.
