Caitlin Clark has grown all of the eyes on that sport and I don’t know that there’s a determine that I might consider off the highest of my head. That has had the affect and influence that she has had. However once more I simply assume the entire sport has taken leaps and bounds, so we are able to speak about them needing management and getting used to all of the ways in which they’re being scrutinized. The eye this all comes together with being a big-time large league sport,” Schefter concluded.

As a part of the brand new media contract beginning in 2026, the WNBA will get $2.2 billion annually.
