Host Jackie Powell is joined by Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports where the pair break down how WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was able to get the planes in place. What planes? The charter planes that will allow WNBA players and teams benefits that they didn’t have before. Jackie and Cassandra explain why the addition of charter flights matters in the WNBA, why has the roll out from the league been rocky and then they look ahead to the future. How does the league providing charter flights during the regular season give it an edge the upcoming CBA negotiations with the players?Thumbnail Photo Credit: Angelina Alcantar/News Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORKHoward Megdal on WNBA Media rights, the WNBPA and Charters:https://www.theixsports.com/features/the-fine-print-in-wnba-rights-deal-is-going-to-matter-chandler-mccabe-talks-robert-morris-hoops/Lindsay Gibbs on the NBA’s history with charter flightshttps://www.powerplays.news/p/fromthearchives-how-charter-flightsJenn Hatfield on the Mystics’ charter complaintshttp
