Host Jackie Powell is joined by The Next and the IX Newsletter’s Howard Megdal to discuss his latest reporting out of the investigation into the Las Vegas Aces and their relationship with Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the organization that announced in May that it intended to pay each Aces player $100,000 in addition to their league salary. What did Howard learn from over 900 pages of emails that were provided to him via the freedom of information act? Also, the pair dive into why this investigation matters to begin with and why it protects the future of the WNBA. Lastly, Jackie and Howard connect the dots between this investigation and the latest lawsuit that Dearica Hamby filed against the Aces and the WNBA.
