Summary

We’re bringing you a CBA extravaganza, with two insiders to help us unpack the WNBA’s new CBA: three-time champion and WNBPA vice president Alysha Clark, and ESPN basketball analyst Andraya Carter.  Alysha Clark was in the room during the round-the-clock negotiations; she tells us what it was like inside the hotel conference rooms, and how the players were able to push through this transformative deal.  Andraya Carter zooms out to look at what the accomplishment means for the business overall, how it will impact college basketball, and what the players won besides salary. Plus, she gives us a sneak peak into how she’s watching the biggest match ups during March Madness, the impending free agency bonanza, and introduces us to her life partner: a ball python named Nothing. And since we’re down to the Sweet Sixteen, we have some THOUGHTS on who made it to the next round. And guess who’s going to be in Phoenix in a couple weeks? We’re recording an episode of A Touch More Live, presented by AT&T, on Saturday, April 4th, at the Orpheum Theater. Tickets are on sale now, go to ATouchMoreLive.com!
