14. Merge the revenues and combine the players in the same bargaining unit

They are already part of the same corporate umbrella. The majority of the revenues comes from league sponsorships, TV revenues, merchandise sales, and is distributed to all teams. Pool all the revenues and divide it equitably.

The male players (through the combined bargaining unit) could agree to take a pay reduction and share some of their revenues with the female players.

Stephen Curry and LeBron James can probably figure out a way to live on only $30 million per year instead of $40 million. A rookie bench warmer might only get $750k a year instead of $1 million. I'm sure they will get by somehow.
