The league’s new revenue share model will aid this salary structure. Aces president and GM Nikki Fargas released a statement. She praised Wilson’s impact on the franchise.
“A’ja is truly one of one,” Nikki Fargas said. She stated Wilson led the franchise to its current position. Fargas noted Wilson’s record-breaking achievements.
