Indiana Fever win WNBA Draft Lottery & Chance to Draft Caitlin Clark (She won't be taking a Pay Cut)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Crazy that Darren (ESPN Sports Business Reporter) is not more knowledgeable on this topic.
Nevertheless, he continues to claim CC will be taking a pay cut

Anyone paying attention knows Caitlin won't be taking a pay cut.
Nevertheless, someone asked about it again today.

You do realize she's already under contract with Nike? Wait for the shoe CC3 or the facilitator clothing line coming to a store near you.....

Jees... That sounds like what I've been saying all year....
Seriously, who cares if she's making more or less? It doesn't matter. Her family was already affluent beforehand and she's going to be a millionaire, if she's not already. Money isn't an issue for her nor has it ever been.
I don't understand why people care what her finances are. She's doing what's right for her. That's the important part. It sucks from my standpoint as a fan of Iowa but I don't blame her at all.

They were saying that the day she announced, ticket purchases spiked such that of their season tickets sold thus far, 70% were sold that night.
Would NOT be shocked at all to see Nike roll out something like this for Clark in the next couple months. Has there been ANY college athlete since His Airness who had this kind of media frenzy? I think not..
Yep, it's always the men...damn them!
If only we could live in a world where humans are just...human. People always want to divide everything and make stances, along with enemies. Nothing new but it continues to be disheartening to say the least.
Article in Monday's Wall St Journal on CC indicated that Nike Puma Under armour among others will vie to sign a new shoe deal exceeding 3 million/yr this spring.
That will exceed the usual 1-2 million for star rookies in NBA.
CC will be fine financially.

Crazy good money......
I hope five star recruits see what's going on in Iowa City and realize that they, too, can make it big not only career-wise but financial wise
She was going to sell a lot of basketball shoes anyways, but for her it will be like an annuity as little girls keep growing and needing bigger shoes every season.
Her current salary is... ZERO. Her endorsements will continue. Her signing salary is a measly 75k per year for being the #1 draft pick, compared to the mens at 10million...From what you understand? As you will read below, Caitlin says people simply don't understand what she is making now vs what she would make in the WNBA. When she heads to the WNBA, she wouldn't be giving endorsements up and she wouldn't be taking a pay cut.
This is what Caitlin recently stated in a Dan Patrick interview:
Q: Would you be taking a pay cut by heading to the WNBA?
“Not necessarily. I think that’s what gets lost sometimes. I think people don’t understand. NIL is still kind of a thing when you get into pro sports, too. You still have all those endorsements. You still have sponsorships and whatnot, so you’re basically just a professional athlete with that on top of it, too. So, it’s not really something that I would factor into my decision of staying or going too much.”
Caitlin, on how important the WNBA is to her:
“Very important. That’s where I want to be, but I have another year here and possibly one more after that just because of COVID, so probably will have to make a decision on that sometime next year. I really have no clue of what I’m going to do. Stay for an extra year or leave after next year, but I love watching the WNBA.
“I remember really vividly my dad taking me to my first ever WNBA game. Maya Moore was my favorite player growing up. She played for the Minnesota Lynx, so it was pretty convenient. That was only a four hour trip from where I grew up, and I really remember getting to watch her versus Sue Bird and the Seattle Storm. That was like my first ever experience with the WNBA when I was really young.”
Caitlin Clark considering two more seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes
Caitlin Clark revealed on the Dan Patrick Show that she’s mulling the possibility of two more seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes.hawkeyeswire.usatoday.com
Salaries for WNBA players won't increase until viewership increases, which then would lead to bigger TV contracts. Also, ticket sales need to grow.
Not sure how much money the WNBA is losing atm but if there were money to be made, there'd be more than 12 teams
Wanna hab some marketing incentives. I Heard Clarks Income could be 500k with the marketing income included.
The Fever posted this when Iowa had a huge lead and where the game would be over in roughly 20 minutes.

Fever in 2022 5-31 finished with worse record
Fever in 2023 13-27 finished worst record again.
18-58 past two years. It’s going to be interesting to see what CC does.
