Caitlin Clark has reportedly been offered a groundbreaking $75 million contract to join the Unrivaled League, positioning her as the league’s face and ambassador.
The Unrivaled League, aiming to revolutionize women’s basketball, has already signed 26 of its 30 players but is prioritizing Clark’s recruitment to enhance its visibility and appeal.
Clark’s contract surpasses the earnings of top WNBA players, highlighting significant financial disparities within women’s sports, as her deal is over 20 times the salary of current stars like A’ja Wilson.
Despite receiving a $3 million offer from Ice Cube’s Big3 League, Clark chose to remain with the WNBA, emphasizing her commitment to the league and the future of women’s basketball.
The Unrivaled League has secured a television deal with TNT, promising over 45 prime-time games, further indicating its serious investment in elevating women’s sports to a mainstream audience.
