WNBA Proposes New CBA: Faster Max Salary Eligibility, Boosted Salary Cap, and Increased Revenue Sharing The WNBA has presented a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) proposal to the players union, offering faster maximum salary eligibility for top young stars like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers. The salary cap would significantly increase, starting at $5.75 million in year one and growing to $8.5 million by year six. Maximum salaries would jump from $249,000 to $1.3 million, with average pay rising from $120,000 to $540,000 in the first year. The league is sharing over 70% of net revenue with players for the first time, triggering an $8 million payout from last season. However, negotiations continue as both sides disagree on housing costs and the unions push for a share of gross revenue. The deadline to finalize a deal is March 10th to keep the season on track starting May 8th. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
