Actually their biggest single funding source for the WNBA is the NBA. The WNBA annually brings in about $200M. The NBA, on the other hand, brings in around $10B. The founder of the WNBA were former NBA commissioner David Stern and other owners of the NBA teams. So spreading the wealth to both leagues is sound business for the pro basketball community in the US. However, the current welfare coming from the men’s league is around $1M a team, or in the area of $12M. It doesn’t cover the shortfall.
