The WNBA is facing a major battle with a rival league, as Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark was offered a stunning $2 million salary. Seattle Storm star and WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike has already signed on as the rival’s first player.

A new women’s basketball league called Project B just popped up, and they’re already starting to poach WNBA players. Offering them multi-million dollar contracts AND equity to come play for them.

Project B’s Power Play

Project B is reportedly equipped with significant financial resources and support that may significantly influence the WNBA by offering players $2 million contracts. Clark could receive an offer of $50 million or more.

Unrivaled seeks to enhance its competitive position against the WNB by improving viewer ratings and expanding streaming opportunities throughout the year. The organization plans to implement a 5×5 format in new markets to support its growth and market presence goals.

Project B may present Clark with an irresistible financial opportunity, which she would find challenging to decline. Importantly, she would still maintain her involvement in the WNBA, as this arrangement does not involve alternative commitments.

With Clark’s name attached, they would get a huge network deal, and yes, fans would watch. She would finally be attached to a league that could pay her what she’s worth. She would be the highest-paid women’s basketball player ever.

End Of My Project B And Caitlin Clark Rant 

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) signs autographs Friday, Sept. 26, 2025, ahead of Game 3 of the WNBA semifinals against the Las Vegas Aces at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

It is unlikely that Project B will retain Clark’s involvement, as she possesses ample financial resources and is specifically dedicated to the WNBA. Her commitment to the league’s success exceeds its need for her participation.

Clark has shown she is willing to turn down a lot of money if it does not fit her values, like when she said no to a $5 million offer from Ice Cube’s league. The WNBA has not helped itself by treating its best player like an outsider for the past two seasons.
