WNBA, union continue CBA talks with issues still needing to be resolved

The WNBA CBA talks continued on Saturday, as the two sides met for the fifth straight day. WNBPA President and Storm F Nneka Ogwumike said that revenue sharing and team-funded housing “were two major items” that still needed to be resolved to get a deal. Ogwumike: “It’s very important for us to nail those two things down which is I think the biggest thing on the agenda today” (AP, 3/14). On Friday night, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert gave a Monday deadline to ensure the season does not get interrupted, as training camp is set begin April 19. Engelbert: “We have to get a deal done by Monday. We have to get it done without disrupting some part of the fact that we’ve got to run this two-team expansion [draft]. We have to get expansion going. We got to get free agency going. We got to get the college draft” (SBJ).
