Part 7/7:
With dwindling membership, unaided by the star presence, and a dubious marketing approach, the gates look grim for Unrivaled. Its launch appears more like an attempt to fill a void that doesn't genuinely exist than a panacea for the ills of women's basketball earnings and recognition.
Unless the league initiates drastic measures to attract popular players and create a compelling narrative, the conclusion seems bleak: Unrivaled is likely on a path toward irrelevance before it has even begun. The question that remains for the basketball community is whether they would tune in to watch a pretend basketball league, or let it blend into the void of forgotten ventures.
