Why the WNBA is a joke! Katlin’s salary
hines495 • 04/17/24 08:14 PM ET
Actually your cause and effect are mixed up
Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 03:07 PM ET
If the NBA didn't subsidize WNBA then they would get paid nothing....
Brewing_Hokie • 04/19/24 11:50 AM ET
Isn't the WNBA season 4 months?**
AirborneHokie96 • 04/19/24 11:45 AM ET
Where do you suggest they get the money from?

Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 02:56 PM ET
$20M shoe deal with Nike. Her salary is her beer money....

What's a joke is how much women's basketball championship outviewed men's
Hokebury • 04/18/24 03:10 PM ET
One time

Business decisions should not be made on the basis of one game
WestEndHokie39 • 04/18/24 08:34 PM ET
^correct. History of ratings, attendance, etc matters.**
Brewing_Hokie • 04/19/24 11:51 AM ET
Where do the teams get the money to pay more?**
HokieJack • 04/18/24 02:36 PM ET
I’m just going to leave this here…so, no she wouldn’t have made *more* 💰at
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 01:26 PM ET
Endorsements 5-10 million.**

Purely economics

WNBA annual revs are $200mm
Vippie1 • 04/18/24 08:13 AM ET
$200 mil last year, $60 mil the year before
Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 03:09 PM ET
So $76,000 more than Iowa paid her.**
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:05 AM ET
She could have made tons more returning to Iowa BUT she has
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 06:51 AM ET
…but instead she’ll make “tons more” in WNBA w/her contract/endorsement
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:35 AM ET
Yes. She's poised to impact the WNBA the way Magic + Bird did the NBA.
Long-Lost Hokie • 04/18/24 11:54 AM ET
Who will be her......
2hhoop3 • 04/18/24 12:01 PM ET
Not sure she needs one. That said, Chicago just got two top-ten picks...
Long-Lost Hokie • 04/18/24 12:16 PM ET
Yeah...it's not a direct comparison of say just two players....
vthokieq • 04/18/24 12:22 PM ET
Agreed.**
Long-Lost Hokie • 04/18/24 12:25 PM ET
You think the endorsement deals would not have happened? Fox Sports was in
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 11:49 AM ET
Fact is you don’t know that and if you had read my post or anyone else’s
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:57 AM ET
Money absolutely would be there whether she played another year at
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:06 PM ET
But you keep ignoring the fact she wasn't taking collective bags...
vthokieq • 04/18/24 12:14 PM ET
No..I acknowledged that she wasn't using the collectives. FACT remains
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:20 PM ET
The fact is, you know none of this to be true. Your posts are based on
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 12:31 PM ET
Lol ! You think WNBA $'s alone are more than she would have made at Iowa?
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:35 PM ET
You keep saying she would’ve made more $ returning to Iowa. I don’t
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 12:44 PM ET
No...you seem to have a comprehension issue. Such as portal players make
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 12:52 PM ET
Good one. That adds a lot of value to the discussion on the boards, but you
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 01:02 PM ET
Yeah. No. You might want to rethink that…**
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:22 AM ET
How so...all those endorsements are going with her?
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:07 AM ET
VT needs to do more national marketing. Whether that's Triumph or whoever.
VANESSAHOKIE • 04/18/24 11:46 AM ET
That would be more on Triumph...and yeah, see below...
vthokieq • 04/18/24 11:52 AM ET
She would have made more via NIL than her WNBA salary. **
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 08:10 AM ET
and she'll make more in endorsements than she made in NIL
Vienna_Hokie • 04/19/24 03:10 PM ET
Ok....it's clear you didn't read my post. **
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:11 AM ET
I did. A link attached. Amoore will make more $ by going to Kentucky and
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 08:15 AM ET
🤦🏻‍♂️…so she makes the same or more in endorsements + her WNBA salary.
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:25 AM ET
Her endorsement deals are her NIL.
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:20 AM ET
Yes correct. Clark just signed $10 mil endorsement with Nike. Most of her

carhokies • 04/18/24 12:02 PM ET
Don’t disagree, but that’s a different issue altogether.
vthokieq • 04/18/24 12:05 PM ET
She didn't take $ from the collective. If she wanted to, then she would
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 08:32 AM ET
You keep posting things like this about Clark. I think she’ll be fine and
BackInTheBurg • 04/18/24 11:30 AM ET
Why would you think I suggested her marketability would decrease?
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 11:55 AM ET
I'm fully aware of all of that.**
vthokieq • 04/18/24 08:57 AM ET
Good. Original statement that she could have made more at Iowa stands** ◄
VintonHokies • 04/18/24 09:02 AM ET
And my original statement that she'll make more in the WNBA...
vthokieq • 04/18/24 09:22 AM ET
We are both correct. She could have made more IF she took $ from

State Farm's revenue in 2023 was $100 billion.

State Farm is a major sponsor of WNBA *and* Caitlin Clark.

FWIW a similar gap exists for tennis (ATP vs. WTA) and golf (PGA vs. LPGA).
VTHokie2000 • 04/18/24 09:11 PM ET
Bet the LPGA & WTA don't generate revenue/viewership like PGA, etc ...
134729Hokie • 04/18/24 10:49 PM ET
Actually, it appears there may be more interest in women's tennis than
