You’re right, the timeframes don’t interfere. However, I was getting more towards the financial aspect. I don’t see Louisville producing a ton of new women’s basketball fans. Thus, the existing fans might be financially squeezed; to they choose college team, or pro team?

Of course, I’m assuming that there won’t be enough existing & new fans that can sustain both. I’m also assuming that there’s not a big enough distinction between the WNBA’s product and college basketball. I guess I’m just making an ass out of myself for assuming too much — no offense is intended by my thoughts.

….what you’re really hoping for is women’s Roller Derby. All that hair pulling. All those high elbows to the, ahem, chest. All those indecipherable rules that, like quicksilver, seem to find there way through your hand’s grasp…How the sports’ victor seems to be a touch predetermined and it’s genuineness questionable. Come to think of it, it is a little like pro basketball.

You would be a “jammer,” skating around the oval, hell bent for adventure, adorned in tight yellow (!) compression shorts. You’d be whipped out in front of the pack, shot from a cannon, taking the first turn on just two wheels, centrifugal force forcing you toward the outer barrier as you blur through the air. Soon, you’ve completely encircled the lead pack, then bend toward the wooden rink making yourself small. As you pass an enemy, than another, you disdainfully place your hands to your hips and at the same time pull them away calling off the jam.
