Will Caitlin Clark be playing in a rival WNBA league?
The Indiana Fever superstar, who is coming off her second season in the league, would likely make millions of dollars if she chose to play in a different women’s basketball league. There is a new overseas startup league, Project B, that is apparently offering big-time contracts.

The league, founded by former Facebook executive Grady Burnett and Skype cofounder Geoff Prentice, is apparently offering seven-figure contracts, according to Front Office Sports.
“Other WNBA players have already signed deals to play in Project B, multiple sources told Front Office Sports,” the report stated.
“Those same sources said multiple stars are being offered seven-figure salaries starting at $2 million annually, with their earnings for multiyear deals reaching eight figures. In addition, players will receive equity in the league, similar to Unrivaled.”

Caitlin Clark is surely among the players who have received a significant contract offer from the Plan B league.
But will she be considering it?
Clark already made a decision.
Sophie Cunningham reveals Clark’s decision
Cunningham, who plays with Clark in Indiana, opened up about the decision on her Show Me Something podcast.
“I tried to get her to play in [Project B],” Cunningham said. “She was like ‘No.'”

Cunningham, meanwhile, is excited.
“I think the people that are running it are just good, good people,” she added. “What a great time to expand my brand globally. I get to play year-round, which will help me stay in shape … I’m hitting my prime.”
The league will certainly miss Clark, though.
