"The new provision, called 'EPIC,' allows players to renegotiate their fourth-year salary and earn the standard max in that year if they were previously named all-WNBA first- or second-team, or the supermax if they previously won MVP."
"In the previous agreement, a player could earn the supermax salary only following the completion of her four-year rookie-scale contract."
"Housing will also be provided for all players in the first three years of the deal; after that, it will be made available only for those making $500,000 or less for 2029 and 2030."
The pending WNBA collective bargaining agreement introduces a provision called 'EPIC' that enables players on rookie-scale contracts to renegotiate their fourth-year salary. Players named all-WNBA first- or second-team can earn the standard max salary, while MVP winners can achieve supermax status. For instance, Caitlin Clark's salary could rise significantly in subsequent years. Additionally, the agreement includes housing provisions for players and changes to the core player designation, limiting it to those with six or fewer years of service.
