Over the next couple of years, the WNBA will either see itself transformed or permanently cede center stage to the college game. But as they decide which way to go, Engelbert and Co. should know you rarely get a second crack to cash in on a jackpot.

These next couple of years are your big shot, WNBA. Don't screw it up.

Guess we’re getting lots of think pieces about the W in the wake of the NCAA women’s finals success.

If you know anything about the W and its history then you know they'll find a way to fumble this opportunity. If they don't, the NBA will keep them from capitalizing.

Englebert has done an amazing job rehabbing the brand and image of the W. Now they need to take some strong actions and some bigger risks. Scared money doesn’t make money. Easier said than done, I know.

We’ve kind of seen this before with popular college players not translating into attention for the league. I don’t know if these players will be able to buck that trend but I’d love to see it.

You mean the Kelsey Plum ad that ended with exhorting people to watch the NBA on ESPN?
