"Live sports are coming to Disney+ sooner than you might think.
ESPN says that next Tuesday’s WNBA tip-off games, including Caitlin Clark’s regular season debut with the league, will stream on Disney+.
On May 14, Clark’s Indiana Fever will face off against the Connecticut Sun, and the Phoenix Mercury will face the Las Vegas Aces. Both games will stream on Disney+, the company says, and will also be available on ESPN+, and on ESPN2.
The WNBA games are a big deal, as until now, Disney+ has not been in the live sports business, with one rare exception. Disney has done some experimental streams with the NFL and NHL, in which it used technology to stream games live, but with animated characters in place of the actual athletes.
The WNBA games will be the full, studio productions, not animated simulcasts. And given the hype and interest Clark is bringing to the league, it may deliver big numbers."

So pardon my ignorance if this was discussed and I just missed the memo.
What is the current endgame regarding D+ and Hulu? Since their programming is effectively merged for people paying or both, are they going to phase Hulu out entirely in the near future? Or are they going to continue the two-tiered approach where they offer both options a la carte or you can essentially pay to merge them into one app, as they are now?

For now they will have the two tier approach. You can get Hulu in D+ if you have the bundle, or you can sub to Hulu as a standalone product.
I do see a point where Hulu is just phased out as a standalone product and just merged completely in D+ as they have Star outside the US. It makes sense long term as it saves on costs.
I don't know what she said, but the writing has been on the wall for awhile that a consolidation/bundling was going to begin at some point in the near future. We've just finally started hitting that point.
Hulu as a place with a bunch of content, a lot of it licensed (like good 'ol Netflix used to be) will be eventually integrated totally into D+.
Hulu Live as a place to stream Live Linear TV will continue to be a separate streamer. But with linear TV dying.... Hulu Live (along with other live linear streamers, like YouTube TV) will eventually die out.
