The WNBA really gotta get this marketing together.

Women's college basketball has hurt the WNBA more than anything. When they first started, I knew a shyt load of players and watched more frequently. Now that all of the best players play on 3 teams, nobody tunes into college anymore and don't have a clue or connection to any of the players on the court. I watched the game last night and was blown away by how many "good" players I had never even heard of before.

Something happened to the perception of the WNBA after Brittney Griner came into
the league from Baylor.

There was even speculation that one day she might have been able to compete in the NBA.

She's done well, but she hasn't had the Magic-Bird-MJ-LeBron effect on the league that was expected.

The image of the league hasn't been the same since then, I think.

The league made it 20 seasons and they have added more teams they have staying power.Hard to get people to watch when their is a big time college matchup on and they are going against NFL,popular tv reality shows.

The league only exists as a charity of the NBA.... it suffers because it's currently a bad product with terrible marketing.

It needs to be able strictly basketball, and nothing but.

True but it made it 20 years :manny: The WNBA wasn't meant to be all that great.Look at women's college basketball it's just UConn and South Carolina strictly basketball you don't know the players just storyline "UConn 110 game win streak" etc
