Jackals draw about 2000/game, but they're moving to a stadium that's about 2x the size of Yogi Berra Stadium.

VA fucked themselves. So many options and none of which should involve throwing the ball up court. Just stay still and take the foul or call a time out

I looked at multiple sites, and gave you the range I got. She got money, she even said after winning gold that money would no longer be an issue. It’s crazy to think that a gold medal athlete with multiple big sponsorship deals is anywhere near the average American.

They both play in a league with a tiny salary cap and wierd player rules trying to be farm teams in everything but name. I wonder how many fans they have? I bet they would get a lot more if they took themselves seriously.

Lookup the Frontier League. It's the only league I'm familiar with (I worked for a team that used to be in the league - but the team was in a small town and the league outgrew it). They have teams in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago areas. Those are the only 3 teams I can think of off the top of my head. I'd guess the other teams are all near major markets or the main attractions in tertiary markets.
Independent baseball (and high-level college, wooden bat leagues) is awesome and well-supported by their local communities.

You went to "celebritynetworth.com" or some similar completely bullshit site, believed it, and weren't at all alarmed that the estimate has an uncertainty of a factor of 12.5?
All in service of not having to learn something new... quite a commitment to preserving your ignorance.

New Jersey Jackals and Rockland Boulders. A little further out you have the Sussex County Miners.

And, if you are smart enough to KNOW you are a little too short or too slow for the NBA, a Princeton education can take you a lot farther in life than a Arizona degree. They know how to recruit the players who get that.

I'm saying that these are teams in major metropolitan areas.

Absolutely terrible ball control on Arizona. I called this out when they beat UCLA last week. Barely eked out a win in that game after giving up easy steals that were converted for points. Today was even worse. Didn't play like they needed to win.
As a guy who grew up in Tucson, this was par for the course.
First college team to ever lose twice as a 2 seed to 15 seeds. Congratulations guys, you earned it. At least you have Tucson to look forward to going back to 🤣🤣🤣

If you simply look up her net worth she is worth anywhere between 400k-5 million. Which is far higher than the median American net worth of 122k

The small schools have an experience advantage usually over the 1 and done pools which ends up mattering late in big games

Because why would they pay more? They probably have zero fans that actually care if they win. Those leagues embrace the mickey mouse family event atmosphere. Look at the USL Championship in soccer. They pay more because they actually want to win and embrace fans that care. Those baseball teams are usually in little tiny towns with no people too.
