How much do women's college basketball players think about the next level? TheAthleticWBB staff polled more than 85 players about how much they watch the WNBA. “It should be more, but …”
• One-quarter of the season=seven to nine games• Almost every game=29+ games
This was perhaps the most interesting question in our anonymous polls series, if only because it was the one question many players seemed to feel as though there were a “right answer.” Several players said something along the lines of, “I want to lie and say more …” or, “It should be more, but …” Players, especially those in the majority who watched less than half of the games, understood the potential irony in women’s college basketball players not actually watching much of the WNBA.
More than 90 players answered this question. The responses revealed most college players watch the WNBA sparsely: A combined 39 percent of players said they watch the game not at all or not much. If players who watch only the playoffs are included in that tally, that makes up 47 percent of our respondents who aren’t very tuned into the W. More than a quarter said they only watched two to six games a season.
This wasn’t all necessarily out of disinterest. Multiple players cited their lack of viewership as a result of not having a League Pass and not knowing when games were happening or how to watch. “It’s hard to even find it sometimes,” one player said. Added another: “I feel like I would watch more if it was more accessible.” Multiple players said they only watched the playoffs, and they did so because those games were on a more obvious schedule and on ESPN’s main channels.
