I already have a plan in my head for 4 more teams, so they could have 2 divisions of 4 teams in both conferences and expand the schedule to 40 games (4 games each against the 3 division rivals, 3 games each against the 4 non-division intra-conference teams and 2 games each against the 8 inter-conference teams)
I very much enjoyed watching Stanford WBB this season. For me the sport was played at a very high level. But sometimes honesty is better than being politically correct. Many basketball fans do not have an interest in the WNBA.
Some years back the LA Sparks were planning to declare bankruptcy. From the reports I read the WNBA loses on average $10million/year. The main reason a failing organization is remaining in business is because it is subsidized by the NBA. What would be the motivation for investors who care about profit/loss to expand the league?
