This week hosts Cathryn & Freddie discuss Project B, a new women’s basketball league backed by some heavy weight investors. How does their announcement affect the current CBA negotiations? Could they become future competition for scouting talent and the many ways in which the WNBA and players alike could theoretically respond. Then ESPN put out an article which suggested that Caitlin Clark could consider taking a pay cut in 2027 in order to build a dynasty in Indiana. Cathryn & Freddie react to that prospect and give compelling takes as to why they don’t think that will happen. Then in our FFQ (Freddie’s Fun Question) we ask if we had to move to another place in the world to do our jobs, where would we go?
