We are back with Next Level, our new WNBA podcast here at The Next, hosted by Brendon Kleen.
One episode each month will be exclusive to our paid subscribers, and today’s show is the first such episode!
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the state of WNBA ownership with Lindsay Gibbs of the wonderful Power Plays newsletter and the Burn It All Down podcast. We discuss what makes a good WNBA owner in 2021, what models around the league have worked best, and recent news surrounding WNBA ownership.
That includes Mark Davis’ recent purchase of the Las Vegas Aces, the impact Joe Tsai has had on the New York Liberty so far, and what to make of the news of an impending sale of the Atlanta Dream from the Brock family and former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler.
To close the show, we discuss what to watch for when it comes to WNBA expansion in the coming years.
