Up next is a chart showing the required or de facto percentage of annual league revenue that goes to player salaries. It’s basically half of all revenue in the major men’s sports. This is why the salary caps adjust annually in most leagues: they are paired with the annual league revenue.

I finally tracked down a pair of datasets and put them together. This is Deloitte’s 2025 valuation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, and Forbes’s 2025 valuation of NWSL.

Remember there’s cash tagged on to these awards. Sharples deserves an extra $5,000. Get herself a new riding lawnmower or something.

This is my calculation. My estimate is a 75 minute window beginning 15 minutes before end of match to 60 minutes after EOM. 2024 numbers are from a Traffic Study conducted by the team. Assumes only Teal Trolley operates as a shuttle, no KCATA service, and drop in rideshare.

The crazy thing is that it really won’t take a lot. Raise the cap by a $1,000,000 and you’ll probably be competitive again. NWSL cap is going up $1.1m from 2025 to 2027, just move it up a year!
