Looking at Clark's contract as reported, she took a big pay cut
hokiehoo1 • 04/16/24 04:39 PM ET
Yep, the money is in the endorsements which will continue for her.
hokieinoregon • 04/17/24 02:44 PM ET
Clark's pro salary.
delmarva hokie • 04/17/24 12:37 AM ET
Market value **
133887Hokie • 04/16/24 08:05 PM ET
Exactly
crazylane • 04/16/24 10:02 PM ET
Maybe she can monetize her games being televised
TabbHokie • 04/16/24 06:38 PM ET
Reading some twitter comments and one from Jemele Hill
hoosnowahokie • 04/16/24 04:46 PM ET
Jemele Hill? (smacks head)**
`lag • 04/16/24 11:02 PM ET
That was staged. They went to a State Farm commercial afterwards.
EDGEMAN • 04/16/24 05:31 PM ET
Staged or not, clearly she's taking in some cash from that.
hoosnowahokie • 04/16/24 09:18 PM ET
She's probably taking in more cash from each sponsor that most will...
EDGEMAN • 04/17/24 06:12 AM ET
Yeah, I think she will squeak by ok.**
ONELLY • 04/16/24 05:09 PM ET
This pay drop narrative is dumb
VTsportscaster • 04/16/24 05:17 PM ET
Glad we have somebody around to tell us what’s dumb and what’s not. Lucky

It does place a spotlight on how much of a gap there is between WNBA
VTHokie2000 • 04/16/24 05:30 PM ET
They also play half as many games. But still salaries are less than half. **
D-Day • 04/16/24 08:02 PM ET
The reason the WNBA plays half as many games and during the NBA offseason
VTHokie2000 • 04/17/24 07:57 PM ET
# of games is irrelevant
crazylane • 04/16/24 10:08 PM ET
and majority of their revenue is in reality blackmail
Vienna_Hokie • 04/17/24 08:18 AM ET
Free market
crazylane • 04/17/24 03:34 PM ET
The interest in WBB last year and the big personalities which drives media
Vienna_Hokie • 04/17/24 03:43 PM ET
If their revenue did increase that much

Hopefully the NBA will expand the number of teams in the WNBA beyond soon
VTHokie2000 • 04/16/24 06:06 PM ET
If they can justify it yes. the WNBA has never turned a profit,
thunar • 04/16/24 08:31 PM ET
Even if the NBA owners could justify those 2 things, it doesn't mean they
VTHokie2000 • 04/17/24 07:52 PM ET
People watched the NBA. The WNBA...not so much.
EDGEMAN • 04/16/24 05:33 PM ET
I don't disagree that more people watch the NBA and the salary is justified
VTHokie2000 • 04/16/24 05:45 PM ET
College WBB had significantly better viewing #s than the WNBA
EDGEMAN • 04/16/24 06:41 PM ET
It is possible part of the reason college has better numbers is because the
VTHokie2000 • 04/16/24 07:05 PM ET
College WBB has more viewers because they have a built in fanbase of alumni
vatechcowpatty • 04/16/24 10:21 PM ET
An easy way to test that theory is for the NCAA to move women's basketball
VTHokie2000 • 04/17/24 07:48 PM ET
College WBB is less politicized and more fun than the WNBA**
UpperQuad • 04/17/24 12:32 AM ET
I would argue that the WNBA is too old
HokieAl • 04/16/24 07:50 PM ET
Age may be a factor too. Even if the WNBA gets much younger and fans have
