We are coli posters and we understood that coming into this season there were going to be a lot of new eyeballs on the league so that's why I'm not really giving them a pass, it seems like they didn't have much of a plan to promote the league like a top echelon sport and their scheduling has been laughable, putting all these games on at the same time, having days where there aren't games, having weekends where the whole afternoon is wide open etc..

I'll be interested to see what they do for next year

They seem downright incompetent if we keeping it a buck. Despite how much they were pleading for it, they were not ready for the spotlight.

The moment they released the schedule and I saw Indiana was playing the top teams in the league repeatedly over the first 10 games I said “Oh, upper leadership really don’t know what they are doing over there”.

your deal is still your deal though. No matter how many new eyeballs they got, they were still gonna run into the same obstacles from the networks they have deals with. All the stuff they have they can negotiate and change (because it should) but a game like last night's in a different year probably gets scheduled at the beginning of the month which they didn't have because of the break. A lot of the early games they shoehorned just for the sake of CC and it led to them playing 11 games in 18 days or some wild number like that.

Next season (and especially once they move to NBC), they can pace out the big matchups, not try to schedule tripleheaders on Friday nights, highlight those camp days and figure out when stuff like LLWS, fantasy football, NFL, etc. is happening so they can better work around it. Their next media deal will be more favorable so it'll be treated like a higher priority than content simply to fill time.

One day of every weekend should be treated like how we treat college basketball. By 2026 we'll have 14 teams. That means we should have at least 4-5 games happen on said day standing alone.

After last night I can officially say rickea has some potential but is a step behind angel and Clark by a decent margin. You can definitely tell she’s a rookie, not bad but not really ready to take over in stretches or even be the 2nd option just yet.


Sparks should get a top 3 pick again.


Boy if they get that first pick. Paige, Rickea and Brink gonna be must watch for me
