SacBee is reporting that the Monarchs did not find a team buyer. The players will be dispersed to other teams. I liked one commenter’s point attached to this article, that the winning team (The women’s) was being killed and the losing Kings team (The men’s) was not.

[Instead of moving as a team, Monarchs players will be dispersed Monday in New York, the WNBA announced.
Today, the WNBA scheduled a dispersal draft of Sacramento’s franchise, one of the original eight WNBA teams and the 2005 champions….]
Even though I’m not a WNBA fan by any stretch of the imagination, as a Sacramento resident, it’s discouraging to see them fold. But, much like high school and college sports, the men’s team is the moneymaker, regardless of their record, and no matter how little money they’re actually making.
