I wonder if this settlement sets the bar for the Men's Hockey team that will need funding in a few months when the NHL teams don't go to the Olympics. If you want a full time team you are competing with the AHL and Europe for players so will have to pay them.
Also for those who wanted them to get Market value, that is exactly what they did. USA hockey has decided that the value of having a Womens National team is worth at least 1 million dollars more than they were currently paying. You are worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay you.
