"The WNBA is 25 years old and its base salary for the top four picks in the draft is over $70,000..."

Can that be accurate?  They make it sound like that's a good thing. 



This article tends to reinforce the idea that 1% of college athletes will be making all the money and 99% will not profit.

So just like the greater capitalist economy in general.

Or, considering sports is entertainment, the "traditional" entertainment industry. You have a handful of mega-famous A-listers, a few handfuls of other performers associated with those A-listers that get some solid scraps of their own, and then thousands and thousands and thousands of struggling hopefuls who at least have SAG health insurance and a few small residual checks thanks to a couple local commercials and a minor part in a shitty Netflix show that got cancelled after one season.
