If there is anyone who is single-handedly pushing women\u2019s basketball to the forefront, it has to be Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, whose on-court swagger and off-court humble but jovial nature have been a hit with fans.<\/p>\n

The result of that fame has seen the WNBA grow exponentially over the past two years to a point where franchise values have soared into the hundreds of millions.<\/p>\n

Other leagues also wanted a piece of the pie. The first instance was when Ice Cube\u2018s BIG 3 offered the Iowa native $5 million<\/a> along with team equity and merchandise sales revenue share to play in his league.<\/p>\n

She declined, as the league\u2019s schedule directly conflicts with the WNBA. Upstart Unrivaled, who play in the offseason, sensed an opportunity and offered her a deal worth millions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, she declined the offer, as her focus was on rest, recovery, and developmental work ahead of her 2nd WNBA season. Now, another league has come to the fore, which has managed to sign a couple of Clark\u2019s teammates.<\/p>\n

This is a whole new one. This one offers lots and lots and lots of money, and that\u2019s why people are moving toward this\u2026 There\u2019s going to be a lot of people switching over\u2026 I tried to get her (Caitlin Clark) to like play in this one, she\u2019s like, \u2018Noooo.\u2019<\/p>\n
