WNBA revenue boomsESPN

The WNBA will use full-time charters for all playoff games in 2023 .
The league says it's projected to cost around $25 million per year for the next two seasons .
The move is a landmark move for the players' working experience.
The growth of the college season and the WNBA appears to have accelerated interest in women's basketball.
The WNBA will spend $4 million on chartering for the 2024 postseason, Commissioner's Cup and back-to-back games requiring air travel.
It's a huge win for the players to address their biggest concern without needing to bargain for it during CBA negotiations.
The current CBA guarantees players only a designated share of revenue past cumulative growth targets.
If they are chartering for men's teams, they have to balance that for women's teams. It's completely different for a business like the WNBA that is profit-based. There are no Title IX regulations. The only thing that determines amenities for pro teams is, "Can they afford it?".
