This thread is a weird take on the story. The new collective bargaining agreement doesn't allow one-and-done any more than the old one did. The WNBA still has the same requirements that mean U.S. players generally won't be eligible until they are old enough to have finished college (sorry, that is fuzzy; I didn't look up the details).

A positive Stanford take is to note that our own Nneka Ogwumike is president of the WNBA Players Association and thus had a big role in getting this new CBA done with higher salaries and better benefits for players. (And Chiney is one of the vice-presidents.) So let's laud it instead of seeing it as some kind of gloom and doom for Stanford.

I agree. Decided to start another thread with a different title.
