Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark is on the cusp of attaining immortality. The reigning National Player of the Year is just a game away from becoming the most successful scorer in the history of college basketball, men or women. After taking down Kelsey Plum’s women’s record, she wants to go one step further and conquer Pete Maravich’s invincible numbers. However, there is more for fans to be excited about. She has announced that this will be her last season with the Hawkeyes. This has everyone wondering what her monetary value will be after her switch to the big league, as she is one of the most prominent faces in the NIL sphere.

While Clark is among the highest-paid NIL athletes with an estimated worth of $910,000, the official sources point out that her base salary will be around $76,535. Moreover, this number excludes any sponsorship deals she will garner in her first season. In addition to this, if the 6ft guard manages to clinch the Rookie of the Year award, she will receive a bonus of $5,150.

Moreover, additional acknowledgment as a WNBA All-Star will garnish her with another $2,575. She will also have an opportunity to take part in the 3-point contest in her first season. That also guarantees her incentives. Further, another viable source of income for her would be off-season participation in overseas leagues, like many WNBA superstars do.

Meanwhile, her leap from college to professional basketball does get her NIL value into the picture.

What does Caitlin Clark’s move to the WNBA do to her NIL status?

Currently, Clark is associated with brands like State Farm, Nike, and Gatorade. Fortunately, these partnerships will remain intact with her in the WNBA as well. Additionally, Clark is expected to benefit from Nike as well as State Farm. Seemingly, Nike has been one of WNBA’s Changemakers. On the other hand, State Farm serves as one of the principal sponsors of the women’s professional league.

The news about Caitlin making her move towards the WNBA has the fans buzzing. While some are busy determining which franchise she should join, others are concerned about her net worth. Be what may, we all are excited to see what she brings to the table during her first professional season.
