Funny how this turned into a discussion about the WNBA. Nobody cares about the WNBA and Caitlin Clark or whoever isn't going to suddenly make it popular.
Women's college basketball on the other hand doesn't need the men's version to financially keep it afloat. 4.5 million viewers for Friday nights games. WNBA playoff games get what, couple hundred thousand maybe? Clark will probably make way more in NIL in college then she would ever get from a WNBA contract.
For the record, I can count on one hand how many women's basketball games I've purposely watched in my lifetime that didn't have someone I personally know playing, but I know plenty of people who are into it at the college level. Clark is something worth watching though.
