The WNBA is officially in deep chaos, and today we’re pulling the Dub Club straight into the spiral with us. The CBA talks are getting WORSE, not better — extensions, leaks, failed revenue-sharing models, billion-dollar valuations, and a widening gap between what players want and what owners are offering. We break down exactly where negotiations stand, why the league is stalling, and why players are calling the latest proposal “lipstick on a pig.”
Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese just teamed up off the court, and the brand impact is massive. We explain why the collab works, what it signals about their future, and how this puts even more pressure on the WNBA to get the CBA right.
Meanwhile, Sophie Cunningham is openly recruiting Caitlin Clark to Project B, admits she signed because of the money, and hints she might leave the WNBA entirely. What does this mean for the league? Can players realistically do both leagues?
And if that wasn’t enough drama…
The NWSL suddenly blocks Trinity Rodman’s $4M deal, sparking a leaguewide labor war over cap circumvention, owner power, and whether star players will be allowed to finally get paid what they’re worth.
PLUS:
• College Corner — Texas looks unstoppable, UConn rolling, Ole Miss heartbreak
• Audi Crooks is a walking 40-piece
• Paige’s Team USA buzz
• And yes… Nelly Korda is engaged to a normy
Women’s sports is on fire right now — on the court, off the court, and behind the scenes. Let’s get into it.
