Let's Face It, Caitlin Clark is Women's Basketball.

Now with Caitlin Clark moving on to the WMBA and Big 3, or whatever she decides to do, women's basketball will go back to irrelevance. Most years, I don't even know who wins it all. The only reason I knew this year and last year was because of Caitlin Clark.
But, maybe the ratings will be a little higher when Mulkey and Staley face each other. Their thug squads will always be up for a fist fight/pulling hair.

Likely back to irrelevance. This spike in interest from Clark and her rivals will leave a wake that could be capitalized on with the right player or two and the right kind of drama, so there is a small chance to make the interest fade instead of crash over a year or two, but ultimately, without another clear generational player like Clark it’s back to normal.

NCAA WBB will be fine because the sport is big and the WNBA is garbage. Agree the last couple years are a fluke and the sport may be in a very slight long-term decline even, but they’re still in much better shape than baseball.

True…I will not watch a single dribble next year.

People that are proclaiming that the women's basketball is now super popular are going to be crushed when viewership takes a huge drop next year.
Clark was the reason people watched the last 3 games. I agree that with her gone the interest will go way down.
The only thing that made the woman's game interesting (given that they play below the rim) was a girl bombing 3s from insane distances. Take that away and it is like watching a Jr High School boys game....kinda sloppy, no dunks, players out of control.
The people who are proclaiming this is a turning point are wrong. We just witnessed a peak in popularity not a turning point.

I love the people in this thread that are saying "save women's sports" and also "it sucks I won't watch it".

Naw it will pass to Juju Watkins she has crazy hype and NIL. Paige is also still around.

What’s sad is that she’ll make more money in college with her NIL deal than whatever shitty WNBA contract she gets signed to.
More likely than not she’ll be looking at a coaching career if she seriously wants to make a living out of it.

The sport needs more hot chicks and less shemales.

Sorry but you're wrong. Will women's basketball be as large as it was this season.. Doubtful. But it won't be irrelevant as you claim since women's cbb has always done well. They've just never had multiple huge stars at the same time and multiple teams who could've won it all.
Fans of school will always support wbb as long as it does well. That support dies when they leave college.

NCCAW will always be fine because of college fanbases. WNBA will always be a joke.

This is the most relevant Iowa has been in sports in the 2000s and it didn’t even result in a Nat’l Championship. That’s how big she is

No comment other than, all things considered, you should probably change your team avatar back to the gators...

She won all those national championships.

and IOWA will go back to being irrelivant

I watched some of the game last night. First time Ive ever watched women basketball. I was enjoying it. I tuned in the see her play. I tuned right back out as soon as I found out their ball is smaller but the hoop is the same size.

I didn't like her in the end. On a post-game interview she responded to a question about her teammates and she referred to them "Our girls will be ready for next game..." Like she was an owner of the team and referred to her teammates as our girls." I didn't like that. She also took 30 shots and was 35% from the field. She forced bad shots because she wanted it to be about her and the nati have her light up scoreboard.
She thought she was bigger than the game. I would love, love, love to see her join BIG3 and play men. I don't think she realizes that you can find 8 guys on a court in Nola public parks at any time that would beat her by a significant margin.
Add in the pasty white, big nose, tomboy persona bc whether you agree or not, we will always judge the womans players on attractiveness at some level.

She's just not that good. Too one-dimensional. Very overrated. Bye bye.

She should stay in college. WNBA is a joke. Right now she is the most famous face ever in women’s BB. More opportunity for NIL than she will ever see in the WNBA.
