Here's The Shocking Amount Caitlin Clark Will Make as #1 Overall WNBA Pick Next Year

She can always do like most women and do OF if she needs more money.

Well, that's a shame, but with the popularity of some of these new girls going into the league that may eventually change a bit. Those college eyeballs may follow them this time to the WNBA and soon may turn a profit.

no one really wants to watch females disgrace the game of basketball at the professional level

She will make 10X via social media and corporate ads combined..... TV contracts are the revenue source for professional athletes........It is a business. Take the emotion out of it.......

Frankly, WNBA players making a single dollar are still over paid. The WNBA loses money. The only reason it even exists is for BS diversity and inclusion feel good reasons. It is a shitty product with zero following,

Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, etc. will lose their following over time, not because they are not great players, but because the WNBA is a joke.

Wow, I had no idea they got paid that much? Does that Griner dude from Baylor still play in the WNBA or did his criminal episode in Russia cause the WNBA to release him?

Not shocking. The league does not make money!

If they paid players what people think they are worth vs what they actually bring in the league would have folded numerous years ago.

Wait , didn’t Clark get a 5 million dollar offer from Ice Cubes league ?

Is that big money for that activity? If that’s top pay how can the lower group afford to participate.

It is a league subsidized by the NBA to attract more female fans to the game in general. It is nothing but a marketing ploy like billboards and cheerleaders.

It’s only shocking until you realize the WNBA as a whole loses about $10 million a year every year. She’s lucky they’re able to pay her at all.

She should’ve joined Big 3

Plus personal trainer, gym membership, dietician, health coverage…

I make more than what she will make in her first two years combined

Look no one gives a crap about the WNBA. Not a big ticket so salary represents that not hard to see

She should have taken Ice Cubes $5 million. The WNBA is counting on this crop of women's college basketball stars to bring their tv ratings with them. But no one cares about the WNBA. They care about their schools. They may get some to follow Clark, Reese, etc., but it won't be enough to effect any major changes in tv deals. I'd like to see them make more, but the economics are not there.

and that’s completely subsidized by the NBA.

She's better than Pete and he made more than that 50 years ago

She could make half of that working "fast food" in California.
