A representative confirmed the size of Brown’s fortune, but declined to discuss the specifics of his interest in a WNBA team.

I would love for Portland to have a WNBA team once again. I sincerely hope, though, that the second interested party is not the Timbers/Thorns ownership. Those guys need to do some serious housecleaning.

WNBA commissioner to visit Portland as league weighs expansion

Quote:
Wyden says top Portland Trail Blazers and Portland Thorns executives will be among those contributing to the roundtable conversation, along with Oregon State University women's basketball coach Scott Rueck and University of Oregon women's basketball coach Kelly Graves, so Engelbert can see, "how our entire state has proven to be an epicenter for women’s sports."
