The NCAA is broken because it's a professional business with an amateur structure. As a result, players have no protections, no revenue share floor, and no voice in the business. Just like WNBA players, we need a union to win a CBA that raises the floor for our lives, our game, and our future.
The WNBPA already showed us the power of a union when they won a new CBA that increased average salaries from $125,000 to $583,000, which is a 467% salary increase. The union also increased the supermax from $249,000 to $1.4M. If the pros could win these gains with their union, then why can't we? The time is now to follow their lead.
