#IUWBB vs Wisconsin

Recommended Posts

Not that I'm aware of :)

Not usually. Though I think Minnesota had a girl leave after her Sophomore like a year or two ago. My parents were at the game today. Said it was a lot of fun. Now they're just trying to get through the snow. Go Hoosiers!

The WNBA prefers finished products, or players who have proven they can dominate other college players on the biggest stages. In other words, the complete opposite of the NBA. 

That and no one's giving up a free education in order to make maybe $50K a year.

I was about to post the same thing.  Beat me to it.  

 

Diana Taurasi was the highest paid WNBA player in 2014 at 107k.  I believe she's playing in Russia now, rather than the WNBA, to make more money.  

 

Looks like the average league salary has gone up to 75k per year.  Rookies though, average about 35k per year. So yeah, better for Buss to get that college degree.
