Women's Basketball Paradox

Last night in the NCAA Women's basketball championship Tennessee beat Stanford to win it all. I didn't watch the game, but I know many did on ESPN and the arena was sold out.

In fact, for the women's game, NCAA is the pinnacle. But once they get drafted by the WNBA, where they play for money, the arenas are no longer filled; in fact the arenas a very much empty. I know many college sports are AS popular as their professional counterparts, but I can't think of another sport where the popularity of the amateur/college sport dwarfs the professional counterpart.

What is it that WNBA stands for? A friend of mine suggested: "We Need Better Athletes"
