Bottom line is if ESPN and the likes didnt publicize the shit out of Clark almost nobody would care. Just like before uhhh 7 years ago.
Women's college bball has been thriving for years especially in the SEC which has little to do with Clark. Angel Reese is a millionaire. of course Clarks star power played a big role. The quality of play has improved quite a bit and they are producing bonafide marketable superstars. It is not entirely because of Caitlin Clark.

It has not translated on the pro level and I'm not sure if it ever will. But women's college bball is plenty popular. Of course it isn't the same quality or the same popularity as men's but why does it need to be?
