Caitlin Clark is one of the most marketable basketball players in the country, and the BIG3 knows it.League founder Ice Cube confirmed he had offered Clark $5 million. Following a report from TMZ.
We intended to keep this offer private while Caitlin Clark played in the championship.But I don’t deny what’s already out there now: BIG3 has made something historic
Make an offer to Caitlin Clark. Why not? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve great success in the BIG3. https://t.co/cwzHh7EVau— Ice Cube (@icecube) March 27, 2024
There are two major elements to this announcement.
- BIG3 definitely wanted this news to leak. This is a big marketing move for the league, which hopes to generate as many headlines as possible for Clark during his quest to become a national champion.
- It’s incredible that female baseball players are getting so much hype and attention that they’re the source of marketing plans, but this wouldn’t have happened 10 years ago, and it’s all thanks to these amazing athletes. This shows how well-known women’s sports are.
According to a TMZ article, the BIG3 wants WNBA stars to have an alternative home base instead of being forced to play overseas to make up for the WNBA’s low wages. However, there is a huge discrepancy between the BIG3 seasons that take place during the pro years, which could have a big impact on whether someone chooses to play both.
As it stands, the BIG3 season will run from mid-June to mid-August, with two competitive games against the Indiana Fever, who will take Clark with the No. 1 overall pick. The BIG3 wants players to play in both leagues because they are in dire need of attention and attention. But that doesn’t make sense for a player like Clark, who would earn more endorsement money. This also requires her to risk her health and focus on starting a professional career for her short-term gain.
Basically, the BIG3 needs Caitlin Clark more than she needs him.
As expected with Iowa State still in the dance, Clark hasn’t said whether he’ll accept the offer, but it’s worth noting.
