But Nneka's $48K is literally for a seasonal job, not an annual salary.  If her work was annualized she would make more than $48K per year.  Most star WNBAers would easily increase their annual take home pay with international play.

I believe Nneka will elect to stay in the USA so that she can get a masters.  So Nneka's $48K is something equivalent to the pay for a summer internship.  How many Stanford students are expecting to make $48K for a summer internship?

Besides, the WNBA must be about more than money for the players.  Each WNBA star is a role model for young girls in so many ways.  An office job probably would never match up to that opportunity to influence.
