WNBA Enters 12th Season
There is a new eight-year television deal with ABC/ESPN that will provide the riches of rights fees for the first time. And a six-year collective bargaining agreement will ensure labor peace as the WNBA begins its 12th season Saturday.
"What's happened in the first 11 years of our history is we've essentially completed a generation of young women entering the league," said Donna Orender, WNBA president since 2005. "This draft was the strongest we've ever had, and those young women were just 10 years old when the league began [in 1997].
"There's been an explosion of participation which has created more of an opportunity to play at every single level, and the quality of coaching has followed along. That has resulted in an exponential growth in the quality of play. If you have 10 million athletes to choose from instead of 10, guess what's going to happen? It's all coming together to create our new and improved property."
It is a property that consists of 14 teams, with the expansion Atlanta Dream. A team in Albuquerque might follow as the league moves away from the original model of NBA ownership and NBA arenas.
