Women’s basketball is outshining the men - True or False

Question of the Week [https://www.buzzsprout.com/316388/fan_mail/new] Is Women’s Basketball Passing the Men’s Game?  In today’s episode we dive into the Women’s March Madness Final, viewership trends over the last 10 years and how interest in women’s basketball is still rapidly evolving. We also unpack the new WNBA CBA, including massive salary increases, a groundbreaking revenue-sharing model, and why comparing the WNBA to today’s NBA misses the point entirely.
