The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is providing a $100,000 annual sponsorship to each Aces player for this season and 2025, and announced the deal by posting a video on X of president and CEO Steve Hill telling the players in the locker room.
LAS VEGAS -- The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is providing a $100,000 annual sponsorship to each Aces player for this season and 2025.
"It was a great moment for me and my teammates, of somebody actually putting funds behind, saying that they're supporting and they want to have our back." "The Aces have been on an historic run -- two-time world champions," Hill said on the video before informing the players."We're here to do something historic with them, too."The sponsorship does not violate the WNBA's salary cap because the authority did not orchestrate the sponsorship with the club. But other teams are likely to raise questions about the fairness of the sponsorship and whether it violates the spirit of the cap rules.
"Definitely more than my salary," said rookie Kate Martin, who makes $67,249, according to the website."I'm super thankful. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming, but this is very much real life and that is what all these players deserve. I wouldn't be getting this crazy bonus if it weren't for how great all of these players have played in the last few years.
