Congrats to @VandyAD on being named the 2026 @theTSHF Tennessean of the Year!

While attendance and viewership struggled for many years in the WNBA, the league is now taking off. The Indiana Fever have become the clearest example of that shift, increasing their franchise valuation by 522% since 2024. A major factor for this rapid growth has been the wave of new fans entering the league, bringing increased ticket demand, record-breaking merchandise sales, national media attention, and expanded sponsorship opportunities. Women’s basketball isn't just reaching new heights. It’s becoming major business.

Congrats Coach👏🏼🎉👏🏼

She became a mom at 44… because life didn’t go the way she planned This is why storytelling works in #UGC It’s not about perfect content It’s about real moments people recognize When someone sees themselves in a story like this, they stop scrolling That’s connection And that’s what converts!
